Wonder if the kits work with the new Macbook?
Well, since it mentions “PowerMacs, iMacs, PowerBooks, and eMacs”, and makes NO mention of MacBooks, then,… my guess would be NO.
Why do people ask OBVIOUSLY stupid questions just to post?
Hey, “clyde” — you aren’t by any chance related to de orangutan that Clint was pimping in that stupid movie of his from de 70’s, are you? You know, de monkey flick that almost killed his career? Before de sequel that almost buried him for good?
You kinda sound like that orangutan. I liked that stupid monkey. He was great.

Note to self: Have Triumph put down tomorrow a.m.
Take it easy guys, GEEZ.
Anyway, how good of a deal
is this? Most any PC drive
will work in a PowerMac won’t it?
SKX is Skechers, Apple prefered Nike over Skechers.
Why should i invest in skechers?
Not a chance.
I like reebok.
They can use pretty much any drive–I put a $20 DVD-ROM from MicroCenter in my G3 as a five minute operation.
The prices these guys are charging are fine, and I believe the sell point is that these will be recognized as the same as OEM drives, so will will work with previous iLife versions where iDVD worked with Apple-provided drives only.
Thanks OpJ, useful answer
Wow, i love how everyone on this board has little or no comment towards the upgrade of optical drives, but rather the dissing and ill-will towards other comments of the afformentioned upgrades…
Oh yeah…and i forgot to question footwear preferences…wtf is that doing here…???
Loru, are you new here?
And . . . are you female?
Oh, and “:” — Clever name. Almost as creative as “Vanilla Ice”.
Besides, you know you laughed, bitch.
Now bend over. I need to give something a good humping today.
To Triumph:
If “triumph” for you is the denegration and humiliation of others, you must be a lonely and disatisfied man. As you measure to others, …
Come away from that. You’ve got to be better than you read.
