It's been mentioned on a few other posts this go-around, but needs mentioning again. Having just run across this myself, I'm amazed this information hasn't spread further. The single easiest way to block most ads isn't with some program or extension mucking around with your system, it's just by redirecting the most common ad-servers by using your hosts file.
This page shows you how to do it for Linux/BSD/Solaris/Unix, BeOS, Windows NT, and Win '95-'98. Extremely simple, it has succeeded in blocking most banners and pop-up ads from my web browsing. The only thing this doesn' t work for is for sites that serve their own ads. I imagine this'll kill Gator as well (whew...just under the wire there in making this post relevant!)

not terribly...and that's always been a bit of a pain. It has an internal actions feature by which you can record practically anything you can do in the program but it can't handle if/then statements.
most shops in need of scripting on the mac use Debabelizer. Though, given Debablizer's ridiculously steep learning curve I can see a fully-scriptable graphics app making some headway.
the Superdrive cannot read or write to DVD-RAM discs, but according to Apple's site:
"Software for writing data to a DVD-R disc is not provided by Apple, but third-party software is available. Search the Macintosh Product Guide for options."
So it's a "write-once" deal if you want to backup your harddrive or write other data.

Spamuel's more correct than not...$1/CD is a pipedream for most. Indie bands do tend to get a bigger cut though.
