My company bought an iMac last March to create DVD's with our materials on them to sell to our customers. I was tasked with creating the DVD's and burning them.

Now sure we could have gotten a duplication factory to do it - but why do things the cheater way when you've got an iMac and some time to kill?

As of today, I have burned my 1,000th DVD on this iMac's original SuperDrive. It is still going strong!

Anyone else burned this much without having problems? :D

Rock on, Apple.
