Thanks RDiT.
While I genuinely appreciate the advice, I'm not so desperate to use -RW discs to try it, but I took a look at that site anyway and read the following in the FAQ:

No, he wasn't. My 1GHz 12" works perfectly with DVD-R/Ws. It might be a matter of bad media or a dodgy drive, but it should work. -R/W will only burn at 1x, though, not the 2x you'…
Hmm. So it was probably the cheap disc I used.
Unless dropping my powerbook the other day damaged my drive in some way? But why would that affect only the DVD-RW function and no…

I really enjoy music, I currently have a ver good pair of Sony headphone, yet -as with all Hi-Fi headphones- they have a ~3m cord. My powerbook has built-in BT. I would really like…
No BT headphones exist. It will be a while before you get wireless HiFi BT headphones. All we currently have is IR headphones.
