I will most likely refrain from posting trivial stuff like this until the big stuff arrives, but I thought I’d create a new entry to test out some changes I made to the site.
Yesterday, the AppleCare for the Power Mac arrived, along with the keyboard, mouse, and external Lacie d2 DVD burner for the Mini. I purchased this burner instead of upgrading the Combo drive to a Superdrive because my father-in-law just purchased a Sony camcorder that records directly to 3in (8cm) DVDs, and he wants to be able to import content from these DVD to create full-sized DVDs. I could not verify that these small DVDs will work in the slot-loading drives on the Mini, nor could I find his camera listed on Apple’s device compatibility list, so since I pushed him so hard to switch to the Mac, I wanted to make sure he could read the small DVDs. (The Lacie is considerably faster than the Superdrive, and it comes with Toast Titanium, so when you subtract the $100 you would spend on the Superdrive, the $199 ($181 at Amazon) for the Lacie is really not a bad deal).
