Gouzel, My humble recommendation is to get a DVD burner instead as they are becomming more and more cost effective and allow higher data density per media (no swoapping). The Imation DVDR media is 4.95 USD when bought individually and "no name" media is as low as $2 per disk in quantities of 20-50 (check ebay, too) The QPS Inc. Que drives (firewire and USB 2.0) are around 350-400 USD and as external drives go, that is a pretty good deal. Some of the new burners allow CD burning as well. The limitation of firewire is around 4 megs/sec and the burning goes up to 2.5 megs/sec (internal drives are faster but not as portable ;) ). Some of the new G4's ship with the "superdrive" which is the "all in one" burner, so if you get one of those computers networked then that will good as well. As far as stand-alone drives for CD burning go, all of my LaCie devices (external) and Yamaha or Sony (internal) have excellent service record with minimal amount of "coasters". It should be noted that inernal burners on macs are hard to install due to constrains of the casing. For blank media, I only use Imation.
