Hello Everyone,

For the Mac Mini that I'm about to buy I'd like to have a CD writer with Lightscribe (or anything similar). I know that Apple and many of it's users think that optical drives are dead but I actually have clients who want not noly downloads but a physical backup. And I hate to hand out CDs from Staples with Sharpie scribbles all over them. And labels are a bad idea also.

So what optical/laser solutions or little printers can you recommend for use with a modern Apple computer?

I've been using this LG model for about five years now. Its probably obsolete but I'm sure there's newer models that do the same.

As for printers, I like the Brother compact wireless laser printer. Cheap, fast, reliable for home use and tucks outta the way.
