First off, why would you buy a G5 without a superdrive to begin with?

This is the typical "PC user" mentality, why is it that every pc user is the social equivelant of "the guy who fixes his car on weekends". You are the guy that spends $50,000 on a BMW/Mercedes, and can't believe that the car stereo he bought for $19.99 at Radio Shack doesn't work, and that the dealership won't sell him one. I'm horrified.

Apple has the ability to offer a superior operating system, because they can for the most part assume what hardware to support. If every $12 Korean cdrom drive (and other gadget) was supported, the fast efficient OS that we know would be relegated to the steaming pile that has become Windows.
