Hello everyone...
I'm going to buy a Blackbook soon (switching from a PC), and I wanted to know if Mac OS X Tiger or iLife '06 includes software for burning data CDs (I need them to be compatible with both Macs and PCs). If not, is Roxio Toast good?
Thank you...

Mac OS X automatically can burns CDs within the Finder and they support the cross-platform ISO 9660 standard, which can be read by both Macs and PCs. So you have a simple and cost-effective way to share numerous or extremely large documents. If your Mac has a SuperDrive, you can also burn and share files on a recordable DVD disc. A single DVD-R disc can hold up to 4.7GB of information (almost eight times the capacity of a CD), and a Windows PC with a DVD-ROM drive can read the DVD-R discs.

Thanks... and I'll also be able to burn DVDs with iDVD!

The only problem is that you cannot format a rewritable disk and treat the files the same way that you treat those on a hard drive, from Mac OS the way you can do with Windows. You might want to acquire either Simply Burns or Liquid CD for disk burning on the Mac. They are a lot easier to use than Disk Utility.
