For another $120, you can have Mac Mini, which gives you an even faster processor and a G4, and the proper video hardware to do DVDs correctly. (this does assume you have a monitor you can recycle, although honestly, drive around your neighborhood during the next curbside bulk garbage pickup and you will likely find a working 15 or 17" PC monitor in the trash, the Mac Mini comes with a VGA adaptor so one of those garbage monitors will work). > I haven't been able to >run a DVD yet because my DVD drive is external firewire.

I wonder if there is a way to override the installer and force the install. I know I can play DVDs just fine from my external DVD burner, but that is on an iMac that has a built in DVD drive, so the DVD Player installs by default with the OS. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
