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'm afriad im gonna have to go with the author on this one. True Apple wants to support componets that there OS will support so its coded with a few configurations. They also have some detecting firmware on the mobo and some of there software doesnt like third party parts. We'll, if iDVD wont work, lets take something from an open source program and use that? Patch burn is a good idea and as far as I know Apple said there latest patch and Tiger would fix this. (Ya, ok) If Apple clearly wants to compete with PC's there going to have to be more flexiable with there hardware configurations. Think I want there 4 yr old video card playing Doom 3 on my Mac? Think I should just stick with 256 MBs of RAM? $300 for 512MB of RAM for my laptop? lol I dont think so. When faster burners come out, think I should stick with there slow poke? THe newer Macs are more flexiable than the old. Apple is trying to change this and they should, cuz like me I really dont care for some of Apple's choice of hardware.
