Optical Drive for the Asus EeePC

From our favorite Philippine forum thread on the Asus EeePC, TipidPC, comes a suggestion from member Ranma for an optical drive (via Apple) -

For those who really MUST have an optical drive on an ultraportable

Every Mac fan has been craving for a successor to Apple's 12-inch PowerBook, but one of the big problems when making an ultraportable (aside from keeping the right size/power balance) is where to stuff that optical drive. Well, it looks like Apple's found an unlikely spot�the laptop's belly. That's right, rather than cram a drive on the side, Apple has filed patents that show a laptop with an optical drive located on the notebook's bottom. That may not seem intuitive at first, but it does free up space on the sides for other possible ports and goodies.
