Hooray!

Six months after buying it, I finally upgraded the hard drive in my MacBook Pro today. The main thing holding me back was some of the horror stories I had heard from people who had taken theirs apart.

Having done it, I have to say, it wasn’t all that hard. Upgrading the hard drive and RAM in my Acer netbook was probably harder. (Small laptop is small.) Although there is a bit more pressure when working on a $2000 machine than there is with a $350 one!

Anyway, I swapped out the stock 200 gig drive for a 320 gig model, and it’s a very happy lappy now. Leopard and Vista get to share the drive equally, so there is no bickering between them anymore! (Vista was feeling inferior.)

I think I’m finally ready to retire my desktop now — or at least, take it off active duty. I will have to get by with only a MacBook Pro (Leopard/Vista), Acer netbook (Vista/Ubuntu), HTPC (Vista), and 4.3 TB file server (WHS).
