[MacDV] Re: The 20inch LCD Conspiracy

[Gerhard Kuhn]

What bugs me about Apple is their nickel and diming, sell half 
developed OS and then charge you to get it working right, force people 
to upgrade if they want to burn DVD with an older G4 laptop by not 
recognizing external DVD players. I think the iDVD software could be 
made to require the purchase of a plug in (similar to making Quicktime 
into Quicktime Pro) so that the licensing issue is dealt with legally.  
The other way would be for Apple to offer a over priced external drive 
that includes the license.
