Today, my laptop is 5 years old. On 2000 when OS X appeared, it was 1 year old and OS X DID NOT support the DVD Drive. And YES I'm waiting for a FIX to that issue. If no, I will install Apple Software for free on ALL my machines. I sent two letters saying this to APPLE (one to Customer Support) and nobody made a call to me. Maybe, they understand that I have some rights. Apple told me (6 years ago) that OS X will support every 300mhz or faster G3. Then I bought a Powerbook 400mhz (top of the line one) based on that. I will install Tiger for free too. If I find a DVD Player, I will buy the original one.
