[CUBE] iDVD again

[Rob In der Maur]

Kunga,

As I will not have the time and opportunity to fly into SF for 
attending the MacWorld Expo :), I will be eagerly awaiting your 
feedback when you've got the chance to speak to the iDVD team. You can 
tell them that at least there is one person (me) that's even willing to 
pay close to $100 for having an iDVD version that works with external 
Firewire based DVD burning devices.

cheers
Rob
