Apple This holiday season I was given some Christmas money, and I wanted to purchase a DVD burner for my G4 Apple Macintosh computer. When I purchased my computer, I was wise in buying a tower since they are upgradeable, right? WRONG!

The best optical drives for OS X...

... are the LaCie ones, IMHO: high compatibility, good quality, and now even the internal ones work with Power Macs. The external drives are also quite stylish (d2, Porsche). Anyway, I agree that disk burning should evolve considerably on OS X: for example, native packet writing support - see "Mount Rainier" - would be a very good thing (to be able use CDs/DVDs as big floppy drives, in "real time", essentially); also, some more built-in Toast-like functionality wouldn't be bad...
