Hmm, does this iBook really have Firewire? If so, you can get a LaCie Firewire CD-RW drive, and those currently burn at about 52x for a CD-R, and 24x for an RW or faster. If you don't actually have Firewire, then you are pretty much SOL. On Jan 10, 2004, at 10:01 PM, Mark Rath wrote: I have

The first question is what do you have now? If you've got the original 6 or 10 Gig HD then I'd definitely upgrade the internal to at least 40 Gig. Exactly what you upgrade to depends on your budget and needs. You should consider putting your old internal drive in an external case if it's of
