If not, and I don't think it can, not successfully, Markzware make a couple of plug-ins - QX2ID and ID2QX - although they're almost as much as the price you've found for QX8. Chris Webb . Principal MacService Woodside, Brightling Road Robertsbridge, East Sussex, TN32 5EL t: 01580 881212 f: 01

I'd go along with that in fact, whichever Mac you buy, you MUST see it working. Also, take a DVD Movie along with you and if you can, get it playing for at least 20 minutes to make sure there are no thermal/heat issues and that the optical drive works as expected. Once you've checked it out, d
