I discovered today that my new iMac is able to read DVD RAM discs that I have from my Windows PC. This is a very useful feature for me. Perhaps it is already well known in Mac circles.

Unlike windows, the Mac will happy play with other computers. Cds - DVDs, memory sticks and hard disks formatted for PC can be read on a Mac since - well - as long as I remember (since OS7)

Welcome to the compatible and easy world of Macs ;-)

But to write to certain media, you need to find and install other programs. NTFS?

The problem with DVD RAM is the Optical Drive in the computer has to be compatible with them. Not all drives are.
