One of the things I really like about this iBook is its CD-R drive. (Or maybe its a CD-RW, I dunno. Never checked) It's cool to be able to go burn CDs and pop them in other machines, or the CD player, and have them work.
One of the things I find mildly distressing, though, is the complete lack of small transportable storage options. Yeah, I can burn a CD, but that's overkill for when I just need to move a few dozen kilobytes around. And none of the other machines I have handy to the mac on the network do floppies at all. (One has just a CD drive, the other has a zip drive and a CD drive) It just seems like a huge waste.
MacOSXHints to the rescue. If you jump through the right hoops, Jaguar will burn multisession CDs. So now when I need to throw a little bit on a CD I can, and then later reuse the CD for the next small chunk of data. Much less wasteful, which is a Good Thing.
