Hi, we have just got our new replacement desktop mac mountain lion osx 10.8.2, as the G5 was irrepairable. Now we can't find where to put our discs ?!? Have they now done away with being able to burn discs and put software discs in now and just rely on downloads ?

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Yes. There is no Superdrive. You cannot play DVDs or CDs.

You will need to buy an external DVD player/burner. Almost all will do the job, just make sure you can connect it, as your iMac does not have Firewire or USB2 (USB3 is backwards compatible).

Or there is of course the expensive one from Apple. 🙂
