Hi all

Greetings from Australia

I heard from an APPLE salesperson that the superdrive that comes with
the latest G5 machines are actually dual layer burners (it is a rumour),
although it is not disclosed/advertised by APPLE because the software to
burn dual layer DVDs has not been released (i.e IDVD or Toast for Mac).
My questions are

1.  Is it true that the superdrive within the current G5 models is
capable to burn dual DVDs/

2.  If not, can we expect APPLE to release  the new G5s with dual layer
burners in the near future i.e within the next 2-3 months.

I am planning to buy a G5 and therefore would like to know if it is
worth waiting for it.

Thank you in advance
