Mac: Now With More Storage

I dropped a 500GB hard drive into my MacBook last weekend. The hardest part was copying the data over from the 250GB drive I'd put into it last time, replacing the 160GB drive it came with.

It's very cool that it's so easy to install a new HD in a portable computer. My 24" iMac would be much more difficult to upgrade. But since it sits on a table and doesn't move around very much, it's just easy to add an external HD. With the MacBook, as a portable, dragging around external storage is kind of a nuisance.

Just ordered a 2GB SIMM for the 'book too. It has 2GB installed, but will recognize up to 3GB. With Fusion running Windows XP from time to time, some extra RAM would be nice.

Anyway, carry on.
