You're missing the point, it's hardly only Apple's netbooks which you can't touch! I have colleges with large desktop Mac's, wanting to replace their (now) noisy and slow drives, yet in order to do that they have to unmount the glass and perform maneuvers one should only attempt in a clean room. SSD's are relevant because they are, in this day and age, the single most important upgrade you can give your computer - potentially saving the environment one more year or so, of your e-waste. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
