[QUOTE="labingi, post: 44447"] My goals are modest... I have a G4 PowerBook from, I believe, the year 2000, using OS X.3, and I just want to be able to back up my writing on CD. But I can't find information anywhere on what type of disk I'm supposed to use to accomplish this. The only thing I've found indicates that to use the rather amusingly named "all purpose" CD-RW disk I need to fork out money for a special drive. I don't want to do this just to save text if I don't have to, especially since a CD drive is the *only* drive that this G4 actually came with in the first place. Can somebody versed in these mysteries please offer guidance? I apologize for the snide tone. I love Mac. I really do; I just find the way info. on using computers is organized (especially online) to be extremely annoying most of the time. But this forum is great! I'm so glad it's here. Many, many thanks! [/QUOTE]
