Funny all the way to a new hard disk .... $0.00 parts and and labor, for $89 premium. The mini and PowerBooks and iBooks are all dealing in miniaturization of hard disk and hot little boxes, which in my mind are a prescription for difficulty. I do not think I will ever by anything less than a full-size desktop, without AppleCare. -- I am a Christian Democrat. Jesus Christ was a Jew, and a Liberal.
