Crazy? You'd be crazy only if it didn't do what you needed and made
you miserable. (Which certainly makes the case for most windows users,
but I digress.)
I still have my MDD G4s and they're very useful. They still rip DVDs,

As for partitioning, I haven't seen the value of that in a long, long time.
Partitioning gets you all the hassles of separate volumes with all the risks
