Does anybody know if there is a difference between a MATSHITA CD-RW CW-8123 and MATSHITA CD-RW CW-8123C? I need to replace the optical drive in my 14 G4 iBook. System profiler calls it a 8123. So far I have only been able to find 8123c units. The 8123c units appear to be black. I couldn't

The Aluminium is not portable: too delicate, while the iBook is rugged and sturdy. This statement has been bothering me. What's it based on? Could you please tell us how you arrived at this conclusion or give objective evidence of this assertion? You can see our problems here,
