Heck, if this is all I had to do to get a faster burner back in the day, I would have gladly switched to Apple!"

How does one "make a punch" to a web site?

And Mac users can't seem to understand why everyone else thinks they're stupid.

They can't even read!

Superdrive, so what? I had one of these plugged into my Mac Plus. It let me burn 800K floppies and 1.4M floppies. Big deal, so they made a faster one; who uses floppies anymore anyway?
