[P1] Ibook hd question

[Myers, Curt]

It's worth it to pay MCE Technologies to do it.  I've seen the website where someone did it.  Pure torture.  For 500 you can get a 60 gig hard drive and a cd-rw put in it.  I don't have the link, but google MCE Technologies and you'll find their services.

You would think so, but you would be wrong. I can't remember the sites 

right now but there are a couple of tutorials on the internet for doing 

just that and it is a real bear. Taking the screen off is like only the 

third step and then it gets harder from there. If you must ( and I 

understand 3gigs ain't much ) get yourself a big table plenty of time 

and NO distractions. And try to find those tutorials.

I remember reading sometime back the suggestion to take digital or polaroid 
photos as you go along so you can retrace your steps.
