Upgrading the iBook hard drive

A few weeks ago I picked up some new laptop hard drives to replace both the one in my MacBook and the one in my wife's iBook. The MacBook's hard drive upgrade process is a very easy five minutes process.

  1. Pop out the battery

  2. Unscrew cover

  3. Pull out hard drive

Meanwhile the process of replacing the hard drive in a iBook's is a three hour hundred step process involving tons of little screws, a technical manual and taking apart layer after layer of the laptop. When the laptop was fully taken apart and spread across my entire living room I snapped a few photos of the geek porn.

So you got an iBook? That's neat.
I saw the /. story about a giant HP shipment of fourteen boxes or so of two pages each of tech documents, or something equally silly. The story had links to sites of unwrapping/unboxing geekstuff.

I for one keep a big old roll of bubble wrap in my office for my online business, Simply Ready Books. All this talk about wrapping, unwrapping sounds sort of, umm, like stuff you shouldn't let on you do.

The grandkids/nephews like the bubble wrap.
