Gene: Oh, I know it will void my warranty, but since I only paid $60 for this thing, I really don't care. It will be immensely more useful with 30Gb in it than a mere 10GB. I tend to take my stuff apart anyway. I replaced my internal DVD drive with the combo DVD/CDR drive that was mentioned here a few months ago and now my Pismo burns CDs internally just fine. So, if you're worried about voiding the warranty on this little pup, then of course don't do it. But, having taken it apart (which already voided the warranty just to open it up, installing a much larger HD does not appear difficult to do. And, in 12 months, who KNOWS what PB I'll have then (I tend not to keep things all that long...and no, it's not because I break them!) :-) Gene _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
