This may be a stupid question, but how do I format a CDRW on my 17? I am used to using Easy CD Creator on my peecee but do not know how to do it on my new Mac. Thanks in advance.

Edit: By the way my 17 burns at 16x. Just thought I'de say that.

congrats on your new mac :c)
in your Applications folder, and inside the Utilities folder in there, you'll find a program called "Disk Copy". You can open it up, and in one of the menus (the second from the left, I believe), you'll see an item like "Erase CD/DVD-RW". It'll ask you if you want to do a quick or full format - quick is usually fine, but full offers more compatibility, i.e. if you're going to rewrite it on another machine, like your pc.

And of course Disk Utility can do this as well...
