Well, this is a gratis job, so it's in a sense priceless :-)  Actually, 
most who have done it before me consider it a huge PITA, but then they 
all were stuck using Windoze boxes and M$ Publisher.

I'll be lucky if the PTO will cover the costs of any materials I've 
bought.  If I had all the bits together for the DVD getting it copied 
might be a possibilty, but not with the time constraints - June 14 is 
graduation!  I'll make due with what I have for now. Might have better 
luck next year when my wife will be treasurer of the PTO... not to 
mention the Apple Store Discounts will again be available to the 
family!

The hope is that I can launch my own business with this project.  I'm 
paying the $15 for a business card advert in the yearbook, and my 
fingerprint will be on the DVD in some discreet manner :-)

I've ordered a beige Pioneer 109 drive from NewEgg.com, it was cheap 
enough I paid extra for second day shipping.  Color matters for nothing 
since the bezel goes before it goes in the MDD.  If I decide I like it 
better in the FW external case, beige is fine for that too.

Thanks for the suggestions so far.  Don't know if I'll need PatchBurn, 
currently running 10.3.9.  Tiger is waiting in the wings until this 
project is out and I'm sure new drivers are available for my PCI cards, 
or that the ones I have won't break :-)

Regards,
