Hello Everyone, Thanks for past help. In the process of deciding how to upgrade my wife's titanium, I determined that with additional expenses and other sundry costs, I would take advantage of Apple's upgrade program instead of fussing with new hard drive, ram upgrade, case/hinge repair, etc... I send the old ti-book tomorrow. So far Apple has been snappy with getting everything here. We'll see how they do on the turnaround. Will post results when complete. Chose a LaCie d2 250Gb based on the recommendations received from the list. Am very pleased. Thanks. Cheers! Dave __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
