There's no reason it should have any problem. Sure you're putting a lot of wear on the drive, but that's not going to ruin it anytime soon... Macs are built to handle this kind of thing.

And if you *are* going to burn out the drive, you should definitely do it while on applecare

Yeah paulwhannel is right on this one, if the superdrives weren't meant to be used then whats the point in having one eh? Have fun, and if something happens the Applecare will take care of it for you.

get applecare my friend and a nice case.i had this doctor come in, he acidently hit his tibook of his work table and hit the ground. thing was so f***ed up, iwas so sad, almost a tear. instead of fixing it i ended up just selling him a brand new one. moral of this story is to buy applecare and a case, and put rubber grips on your tibook if you like to fling your hands around your desk.
