So it turns out that the firmware in the Pioneer drive in the Mac reports itself as a DVR 117 DVD-RW. This is odd, because the label on the drive (of course I disassembled the machine and checked out the insides before I turned it on, doesn't everyone?) was definately showing DVR 108. That's a shame, the 108 does DVD+/-RW, DVD-R DL, and DVD+R DL, reads every optical medium known to man at the time it was built (so DVD-HD and BluRay don't work in it, but every other DVD and CD format do). Still not a bad drive. Looks equivalent to the DVR-105 in

robeli's machine except faster.

Oh, and I can't believe no one has brought up Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead in the Shakespeare meme. It was such an awesome movie, and it's a great bit in Hamlet as well. I thought of it, but Mercutio's death scene is one of my favorites in all of Willy's works, so I had to go with that.

I started new meds today. So far they seem to be working okay, though I might ask for a slightly higher dosage. I'm still a little edgy. In celebration I wore my Heavily Medicated for Your Safety t-shirt today.
