That's not a bad effort!

I'm ashamed to admit that in the month or so that I've had my DVD-R capable computer, I haven't burnt a single DVD. Shame on me.

Wait...if each Superdrive Mac comes with one DVD-R disk, and Apple has shipped 500,000 Superdrives...then 1/4 of those came with the machine. That leaves 1 1/2 million disks sold separately...sold in packs of 5...carry the two...300,000 5 packs...not too shabby!

My quicksilver came with 2 DVD-Rs, so I guess it's a few fewer than 300,000 packs.

Interesting...guess my math is a little "fuzzy"...
Here's a queston for those with the new iMacs and other SuperDrive Macs (Graphites, etc.): How many disks did you get with your Mac?
