[Ti] TI upgrade ?

[Erik Gaderlund]

Now, what about if you missed your Applecare deadline?  I had gone in 
to a local Apple store and also heard the same thing (I has swapped 
the drive into my Brothers Tibook, where it failed--had a 80Gig in 
mine); to put stuff back.  But, I didn't get around to it on 
time--and it took a while to get my end time from Apple.  So, I know 
initially I tried Hitachi but they said go to the OEM.  I guess I'll 
need to stop into the local Apple store and ask around.
