The new iMac that's due out in the coming months does not have an optical drive and I was just wondering if anyone knows whether this drive is the solution for those of us who still require CD/DVD burning ability. Cheers.

In the uk I've just been into PC World (biggest computing retailer on the high street) who categorically tell me it will work; their staff have been trained by Apple on this. They referred me to the new iMac info on line, look where they describe the rear sockets , USBs and its states you can use these for your peripherals eg SuperDrive. I'm assured by this otherwise I was going to grab an old machine!!
