    Okay, so, I've decided to buy this 15'' PowerBook, because the design is simply amazing! BUT(!!!), but then while browsing throught comments about the PowerBook I found especially one shocking. The author said ''The Superdrive went 'dead' after 6 weeks'' (or something like that, I can't seem to find it again.. well, I'll try browsing throught the comments again later to find it, but I'm a hurry ATM). Anyway, I'd like to ask you guys if you had any experience with the SuperDrive just doesn't seem to work anymore after a few week/month, OR if the comment just was from an Apple-hater/unlucky PowerBook owner.

    Also, while I'm asking about the SuperDrive.. I'd like to ask just one more question. - Are there any 'limits' of time one may burn cds/dvds non-stop on the PowerBook..? Like.. can I keep burning dcs/dvds in a hour or two (hehe, exaggerating..) without the SuperDrive suffer any 'damages'?

    Thanks in advance.
