c|net: Apple to include DVD-R as BTO option
updated 04:49 pm EST, Fri January 5, 2001
Apple, as well as Compaq, is "scrambling" to include the ability to record DVDs in its next line of Power Macs expected next week at Macworld Expo, according to c|net. The article notes that the DVD-R drives, expected as a build-to-order option, would be a logical extension of the company's focus on video/content creation using iMovie 2, but omits mention of Apple's recent purchase of DVD-software developer Astarte. (Yesterday we noted that Compaq will be including Pioneer's DVD-R/CD combo drive in its high-end Presario PC.)

new idea
and this is different than a DVD/CD-RW drive, huh?
Please Apple, don't take DVD-RAM away completely, It'n not bad, or at least have it as a cheap built-to-order.
