Actually, you have a better chance of a successful burn by making the iso/dmg of the disk and then burning from that. It also makes it a little easier if you need more than 1 copy of the disk. Making an image is so fast and easy, and can be done while you run off to get a drink. I mean, it's really nice that the MDD had a spot for two CD/DVD drives. It's great for the power user. But I'm betting they got rid of it for the new design due to low sales of 2-drive systems. Myself, I already have an external FW burner, and have already considered an external FW drive case for extra storage on my B&W. So, I'm not bummed at all about the prospect of FW800 and SATA on a G5. Hamlin -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
