I don't disagree with that. What are the official parameters? A 733MHz G4 or faster? I don't know what the real-world parameters are. But the Lombard is long way from that. I have seen a lot of people who only knew the official line, quoted by Jeff -- that iDVD could only run on an internal DVD drive. I simply wanted to let folks know that there are ways around that (of course, only if you have you have the horses under the hood). I remember when iMovie came out, it wasn't supposed to be able to run on a 266 MHz Wallstreet II (too slow according to Apple). But I remember seeing it running on one. The same with Panther. So I prefer real-world accounts rather than the party-line. Bob -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
