 |
|
I havn't used a Mac since OS 6 was the latest OS and I have two questions as I curently have a Mac Mini on order.
1. Can the mac mini w/superdrive accept mini cd's in the CD/DVD drive?
2. Is there a way in OSX to maximize a window full screen w/out having to drag the window to full-size? The '+' buttton on the title bar didn't seem to do that the last time I played around w/OS X, it just made the window a little bigger, but not full screen.
Thnx! |

+ button toggles between window state and user state. |

No it cannot. I've seen them explictly say that you cannot use mini cd's with the mini. It's probably on the specs. |

Maybe it's better to skip the superdrive option and get an external dvd burner drive?

I would say so seeing as how I can't get any DVD-R media to burn at anything more than 2x. That way you could use the external drive with other machines. Enclosure + Dual layer dvd burner will run you about $100 as it is. Just make sure whatever apps you're going to use on OS X support the external DVD option. I'd go firewire rather than USB 2.0, but that's just me. |

I've got the LaCie DL drive and it's working great. You do need to run some patch to allow the iApps to work with it though.
