 Hmmm.  I bought my QPS firewire burner (the newest Plextor 12/10/32 in a 
firewire enclosure) for about US$350 from Outpost - an excellent drive, by 
the way - so a price of US$500 is perhaps a scam, and an iMac has the not 
so good option for a USB burner also, so the dealer seems less that 
completely honest.  But firewire for CD-R audio is working very well now 
(at least with Toast 4._._), so there is not much of scam there.
