I've heard great things about WD blacks

 

Why's it gotta be a black thing? Can't we all just get along?

 

I hear the WD blacks are pretty much the best working ones you can buy.

 

That is good info to have. I hope I never have to replace the HDD in my Powerbook again.

 

Id go with either WD Black or similar Seagate.

Right now my laptop has a 100gb 7200rpm 2.5" Seagate drive and I have a 500gb 7200rpm 3.5" Seagate external drive. And my old desktop is running a Seagate that used to be in an external enclosure that I used before I got the 500gb.

I've had the best luck with Seagate drives, but they were the best during the mid 2000's. Now it looks like the WD blacks outperform the Seagates.

 

the thing about apples that I dont like (besides the price and i dont really care for OSX...never used it much though) is the fact that you cant work on them.

I have a complete guide on how to take apart everything inside my thinkpad that was provided for free by lenovo.

 

so much for fishing tonight......caught 2 small catfish.....damn lake turned over, so all the cats are in the deep,cold water. i did mussel dive tho, so i gotta plenty ammo for the next couple of weeks, and i plan on hitting the water pretty hard before mcgee and i head to savannah on the 22nd.

 

You can work on them. There is a site ifixit.com with guides to take them apart and fix / replace most anything. I have replaced the HDD, power receptacle and superdrive on mine all at the kitchen table.

 

i thought apple highly frowned upon their users trying to fix stuff instead of them bringing it into an apple store and having a bill of atleast $100 to unplug something and plug a new one back in?

 

That doesn't mean you can't do it.

 

Knocking on the 20K door, I see.

 

yeah..........finally. 4x4 blem my post count outta the water a while back........took the lead for ultimate post whore extraordinaire.

 

He has too much time on his hands. Julies needs to keep him busier. How's the wife?

 

yeah.....and not busier as in crank up the blow torch.

the wife is good....she went shopping and such today. still keeping "news" on the dl,til we find out for sure on thursday.

 

Gotcha. I am anxiously awaiting the results.

ANy house action?

 

man.....im getting anxious as hell too.

as far as houses go.....nada. at the moment anyway. there were a couple we were checking on, but things wouldnt work out with them pricewise and area wise.......and we just lowered the price on the condo too....from $73,500, to $69,900...............so now hopefully,we will have more viewings.

how are ya'll liking ya'lls new place bud?

 

This place is awesome. We are still putting stuff away and decorating, but we really love it. The garage is a mess at the moment and has like 2 outlets, but I have plans. You guys will find something. The house for you is out there, just gotta hang tough.

 

glad ya'll like the new place man.

something out there is for us......im just about tired of not finding it yet.

 

I hear you on that, it is a tough, stressful wait no doubt.

 

I'm gonna break in the new neighbors tomorrow. Gonna fire up the grinder around 9:00 to start cutting off the old leaf springs.
