^^^^^^^^^^^All that has to be done if the DVD setting isn’t what you want is to go into System Preferences and CHOOSE how you want the computer to recognize audio CDs, DVDs, and BLANK media.^^^^^^^^^^
You completely missed the writer’s point.
Sure, you can change the setting, and it’s not terribly difficult at all, but the point is that the setting is there in the first place.
This type of setting can be made in Linux as well, but it’s not assumed outright. It’s not crammed down your throat.
No it’s not... the first time you stick a DVD in, it asks you what you want to do. The user must’ve selected “Open iDVD” and checked the box to default it the first time.
Then you complain about too many choices - "Sure, you can change the setting, and it’s not terribly difficult at all, but the point is that the setting is there in the first place."
It's pretty obvious that you don't have a clue - you're just making up stuff as you go along.
As stated above, first time through allows you to set the preference you would like to follow... if you would, at some point, wish to change that, you can do that via preferences (or via right-click).
The writer’s point seemed to be to make it appear that Apple in some way forces you to do something and then states (more or less) that Linux is better. So, if I missed some other point, I apologize. But, the tone seemed to imply something that was not correct. And adjustable *just as in Linux*
:D
