I need a laptop to record band rehearsals with my stereo mic and burn rehearsal cds for band members afterwords quickly. I noticed 24x burners on ebay for $150 that fit in Lombard or Pismo Powerbook G3s so it seems like I could buy them all for around $500. Does anyone know if this is my best solution and/or if any other lowend/earlier mac portables (ie. Wallstreet) can support internal cd burners?

QUOTE i think the imic is pretty chumpy but that's just my impression- never owned one. i bought an imic with my rev.2 tibook, and i found it just tolerable for personal use. not up to the task of a pro setup (ditched it for an 828 as soon as i had the cash), but as far as derhamm's needs i think it would be fine. i agree that the g3 powerbook with expansion bay burner is probably the cheapest way to go. i've got a wall street right here, in fact, that i'd let go of cheaply... the trick is to get an old-ish piece of software to do your recording, to keep in pace with your older machine. soundedit 16 will record like a champ on an older machine, for example, where coaster or peak is too new. make sense? cheers sam -------------------- there can be hours between the so and the what of the so
