Actually, I back up my 540c over the network (onto my Q800) which has a
Zip100 drive. I do have a CD-RW (but it's in a PC - yuk!), so I may opt to
get a Mac with one. I was just wondering whether it would be cheaper to get
an external CD-RW than spend the extra $$$ to Apple for one internally.

That's what I figured.

Hey, they even do with my 540c, so I was kinda expecting that. PC users
amuse me sometimes.... :-P
