some are and some aren't translucent. I've only ever seen non-translucent but then all I've had are 233/512s. However I've heard many WS owners testify their displays have the translucent Apple. Maybe later/higher-end models got the shiny Apple?

I think that the DVD Decoder opion had to be installed at the factory. If I am wrong please correct me

Also, most Lombard 333 models had no DVD decoder on the MLB, but some did. All 400 mHz Lombards have the DVD decoder hardware on the MLB.
