So I was looking at my system prefs for the heck of it today and noticed something odd. Originally my Sawtooth 400 MHz was shipped with a DVD-CD read only drive which I replaced with a Pioneer DVR-109 superdrive. In previous versions of OS X the drive was listed as vendor supported. Under 10.4.3 my drive is now listed as Apple Shipped/Supported?!

I know it is not a big deal... just a little interesting to me
