Haven't got a G5 Ilbert! ... and my toast is in my kitchen where my
toaster is.
I don't have the software Toast or toaster I just use my Mac stuff.
I find that with OS X.3x that I load my blank Maxell blank CD-R 700 MB
from the spindle I got when they were on sale at either Future Shop or
Staples, Name it when it asks me and mark whether I want finder or
Itunes, copy (drag) the stuff I want to put on the disc onto it from
elsewhere on my computer, then, then try to drag it into the trash
which becomes a burn sign and I burn my disc. On the drop down menu of
edit from the finder there is also a spot for burning discs.
sorry can't help about the back up question that another had except to
say that I do a stuffed backup of my information and then burn that
onto a disc as above. I do use CD-RW for backup as I reburn the
stuffed file onto it. The CD-RW I got on a special from Staples.
I watch for specials on discs.
Hope this makes sense to some.
