The number of
notebooks with integrated CD-ROM
drives will almost double in the next year, according to InfoTech, the international CD-ROM consultancy (Woodstock, VT). At the Computex show in Taipei, which should portend what you'll see in retail outlets this fall, practically every notebook vendor showed at least one CD-ROM-equipped portable. Sales of CD-ROM-equipped hand-held models will probably be less than notebook PCs, although InfoTech says gaming machines could change that forecast.
