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!

And why didn't you check MacMall?

MacMall has a 16X DVD+/-RW SuperDrive upgrade for PowerMac computers for $119.95. If Apple were to sell SuperDrives rest assured they'd be priced at least a hundred dollars over that:

And honestly, if you wanted to add a DVD-RW drive to your Dell, would your first stop really be dell.com, or would you find a 3rd party vendor selling DVD-RW drives cheaper?

Just hop on Froogle and you'll find nearly a thousand hits for "SuperDrive"

I'd chalk this one up to "failure to use the Internet"
