[wplug] Off Topic: Panther and iDVD

[Doug Green]

Roxio Toast Titanium will burn DVDs. As far as I know, iDVD will only 
(repeat ONLY) install on machines that are equipped with a DVD burner 
when you bought it. It will not install if you use external burners, so 
you'll need to use another program. Should be easy to do with any other 
DVD authoring software too...
