Have an i-mac here that I bought last October, have another one here that still works that we bought in December of 2002, it is a power pc can't evolve it's o s any farther than what it is. Love this new one though, went with the 21 inch and invested the money into getting the larger amount of ram which keeps things licking along nice and fast. As for Minis, if it has a usb port you can get an external burner although it may show up as unsupported. Had to use one with the old i-mac because it's cd drive doesn't work right and hasn't worked at all for past year or so. Having a drawer type drive and eject on keyboard with several cats in the house isn't necessarily good think that's what ruined that drive. New i-mac disks just slid into the side, the computer is all in the monitor, the only thing else is just a stand coming out of the back so it's pretty slick actually.
