We don't have Firewire on a 333 Blueberry iMac (as mentioned in the earlier threads), but about $160 was also the price for a USB CD-RW at Walmart.
I figure I need about $500 worth of upgrades just to go up to OS X and another $200 to have one of these new internal tray-load CD-RWs. The iMac was only $400 when I bought it! Might as well just buy a new iMac and get it over with!
