I guess you needed that this early in the morning, eh? ;-)

Seriously though. From pressing the ON button until the disk tray will 
open is about 45 seconds. I've seen plenty of laptops that will get to 
the Windows logon prompt faster than that. Hell, my laptop at home has 
God-damned *Vista* and it gets TO THE DESKTOP faster than that.

Once you insert the DVD, you must wait a further 35 seconds before it 
attempts to play it. All of which is quite absurdly slow.

I wouldn't mind, but it was expensive...
