The way you would normally copy your files to whatever disc.
Why did you think there would be a problem?

Step 1: Insert the PC disk into the Mac.
Step 2: There is no Step 2.
Macs can read PC CDs just fine. :)

Not always... I made a burned a disk of plain PDF's, my wife's laptop
read it, the copy place read it, my son's Mac wouldn't even notice
there was a disk in the drive. His Mac reads most disks though.

If the computer does not even acknowledge the disc, this almost always
indicates that you're using a brand of blank CD that the CD-ROM drive doesn't
like.
There's a *BIG* difference between different brands of blanks! In my
experience, Verbatim and TDK are among the best; Memorex, the worst.

I'm sure you're right but I have to say I've used Memorex with no
problems SO FAR.

>problems SO FAR.
I've tried most of the popular brands of blank in a wide variety of different
devices, including computers, audio CD players, car stereo systems, and so on.
I've had problems with Memorex blanks in older (4X) CD-ROM drives. They also
won't play in my Sony CD changer (though they do play in my Sony single-disc
player), and they won't play in my wife's Panasonic car stereo. So the success
you have may depend on the kind and brand of readers you're using them in.

Too many years as an engineer using PC's. I can only assume both Bill Gates
and Steve Jobs are unaware of this.

Nope. Apple has ben building file compatibility into MacOS for years.
Gates, of course, doesn't care, so the reverse isn't true. But it's easy
enough to make a cross-platform CD from Toast, one of the truly killer apps
in existance.

Quite believable if you have a feel for Macintosh. Which reminds me, I
have in storage an old 'pizza box' Mac that Apple made that has both the
Mac and a Wintel board. It shares RAM and the hard drive. 26mhz, I think.
