Sorry if this question is a bit ignorant, but my understanding is that
a lot of laptops now come with DVD drives in lieu of CDs, and the
drive can read either CDs or DVDs.  At minimum, I would want to be
able to read CDs.  Otherwise I'd rather just get a CD drive.  The
machine is going to to have to be (for a couple of other reasons) a
dual-boot machine with Windows NT installed as well, so the added
value of a DVD player will come in under NT only, I guess.
