Re: new iMac has no CD for installing drivers and protools
A generic USB DVD burner is a great add-on for any new iMac user

Re: new iMac has no CD for installing drivers and protools
Most new computers ship w/o optical drives for good reason. Clients want FTP uploads/backups to ext drives or cloud/software DL'ed from servers/CDs are dead/movies stream. Optical drives are (becoming) legacy hardware. My 2 cents!!!

I'll guess I'll be keeping my external Plextor DVD burner around for a while just in case. |

Re: new iMac has no CD for installing drivers and protools
Hi,
Might be worth noting that if you have another mac computer you can firewire then together holding the T key whilst booting the main computer, it will then see the second computer and also be able to use its drive for loading software. Chris
