    Qt has switchable and customizable styles. The default style on Mac OS X is Aqua which looks and behaves exactly the same as the 'genuine' Aqua. Also, speed is not an issue, Qt is very fast.

    Powerbook CD Burning errors

    I assume ( from the distance :) ) that this is a hardware problem, something wrong with your drive. I'm sorry to tell you, but this is the most probable assumption imho. Do you still have warranty? AppleCare? If so, go and let them replace your drive. Otherwise, either pay the replacement...
