This is incorrect.  There are a number of vendors offering eraseable optical
drives for the Mac, in a wide array of sizes.  For instance, Storage Dimensions
offers a drive in the 600MB-1GB range.  It is eraseable optical.  MicroNet also
offers similar drives.  I think Jasmine does too.  In fact, I have a hard time
thinking of a major Mac hard drive vendor (other than Apple) who _doesn't_ offer
an eraseable optical drive.
