Steps:1. Buy a mac that is capable of running iDVD (an older, non-superdrive mac will work) 2. Buy the iDVD2 upgrade cd from Apple for $29.95. No serial number is required. 3. Buy a Pioneer A-104 dvd burner from a third party reseller (OEM, non-branded version is around $350). 4. Install the Pioneer drive in place of your current cd drive. Everyone wins - Apple gets their $30, you get the ease of iDVD without buying a brand new mac. Of course, you have to use the Pioneer drive, but that drive gets pretty good reviews anyway.
