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!

I am not too surprised to hear that they wouldn't sell you the superdrive. When I did tech support on laserjet printers I was speaking to this Apple Cert Technician who was doing troubleshooting with me over the phone. I had to send out a new firmware dimm for the printer, and had to schedule it to be delivered on a day he can be there.
).
He basically said that it's Apple's philosophy that all hardware should be installed by a professional instead of the end user and that is why he didn't want the end users to install the firmware dimm (even though it's a piece of cake
Doesn't seem logical to me though that they would not sell the superdrive, they would probally make a little more money than if it was sold as a bundle with the computer, it's just silly
