[iBook] new iBook 12" - upgrade hard drive to 60gig?

[Jean-Paul Thuot]

S/He who hesitates is lost.  Get the upgrade now.  HD upgrades are not
a simple task (certainly not as simple as upgrading the RAM), and
probably a lot more costly down the road than just getting one that's
already got the bigger one.

Go on, you know you want to.  ;-)

PS. what I did was buy an external firewire HD and put all my music on
that, because I had already bought the iBook and upgrading was going
to be a huge hassle.  The tech guy at the Mac store suggested that a
fast HD in a firewire enclosure would actually be faster than an
upgraded  internal  HD in the iBook.  I still say you should do it now
while you've got the chance.
