I'm not mistaken. Login as an "acedemic" user on the store right
now. You will see a ibook g4 with a cd-rom drive as the lowend
option. Often they have older refurbs on there with cd-rom drives as
well. I would know if my laptop had a combo drive.. trust me. :)

I think you must be mistaken. I don't believe Apple has shipped a
single G4 machine with out at least a DVD reader. Even the G3 IBooks
had combo drives.

I noticed that Tiger will ship on DVD. While apple has a trade-in
program, I do see a problem with people like myself that have cdrom
based macs. Some of us can't upgrade without more hassle. Its a
shame apple doesn't have a cdrom version of tiger in the apple
store for people like me. My mac isn't even that old. Its an
ibook G4 800mhz. Acedemic versions of ibooks still ship without
dvd drives (low end).
For java developers, i guess this might slow their clients getting
tiger. I know it will slow us down at work.
