nick, dual layer DVD burning has been around for years. It's a standard feature, and as mduell points out it's shown on your System Profiler listing.

It was briefly omitted from a generation of laptops when they started using the slimmer drives in MacBooks and MacBook Pros but otherwise has been standard since G4 laptops and G5 desktops I think.

I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....

Correct.
DL has been standard since Oct. 2005 - except for the first generation of MacBook Pro.

Here in Mexico is really difficult to find DL media, much less a preferred brand. Do you guys have good availability of such media?
