That wasn't spam, you goofball, it's a real queston. Jeez!


I haven't done it myself, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work. But don't expect to burn DVD-Video: the G3 is too slow to do encoding at any useful pace, and iDVD will not run on a G3 at all. So it'll burn CDs great, and you'll be able to burn data DVDs, but don't expect to make movies.

You as a moderator should not be calling me a goofball. What's the matter with you? And yes I took it seriously.

it looked like a Spam question intended to get traffic to the site to me..so I made a call which you already PM'd me about. You think I was wrong. Fine. I accept that.

Don't call me a goofball. Not only is it rude, but it points to the dichotomy that exists between users and Admins..namely, you call can call anyone anything you want and we can't .

Chill yourself. If I made a mistake so be it. No reason to be mean to someone.

Jeez! >

You _could_ apologize.... and I would appreciate not getting banned for demanding civility from Admins.

Yeah. Whatever.

1. "goofball" is generally considered to be a friendly thing. If I'd wanted to insult you, I could have.

2. There IS no such dichotomy. I get called all sorts of horrible things, the likes of which i have NEVER called anyone here.

3. I don't (not in the past, and not now) ban people for arguing with me. As I said, I get called all sorts of horrible things, and I don't ban people for it. This fear is prejudiced and unfounded.
