[iBook] replacement harddrive suggestions

[Justin Herald]

I would suggest going with an external firewire my self, you would 
spend a little less. Plus, depending on where you go, it might be best 
not to trust your iBook to the store. I had my hard drive replaced at 
CompUSA (it is free when you buy the hard drive, but they try to get 
you to pay extra for services like data transfer). They ended up 
breaking my iBook, but gave me a 600 MHz over a 500 that I put in.

You also have to think about your battery life. With a faster internal 
HD, your battery life will go down respectively.

Unless you really need the hard drive internal, I would say external 
all the way.
