I have had my 365XD for 4 months now and have used the FDD about 2-3 times. I am on the road all the time and have found that I have no need for it anymore. I thought that this would be an issue whenI purchased the machine but it has not been. If I need a file I will ususally connect to a network and get it. As for the CD/FDD in/out issue - you can get an internal FDD, but this means sacrificing the CD altogether. You could purchase an external direct from IBM, but I believe that is an expensive option.
