    Personally I think happiness will be the day I can replace the nearly full 80GB 4200rpm drive in my laptop with a 500GB 10,000rpm one, but then I always was an idealist... ;P Anna :rose: Riverblade Ltd - Software Consultancy Services Anna's Place | Tears and Laughter "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch "Anna's just a sexy-looking lesbian tart" - A friend, trying to wind me up.

              Sadly I don't think I'm geek enough to upgrade my notebook HD:( I'm afraid I'd get one that isn't compatible. What model laptop do you have? ------------------------------------- Do not do what has already been done.

                              The advantage of having poor spelling, but a poet also.... you are always in doubt if the spelling mistake was a mistake or deliberate. :-O thus the later reference to 500gb 15000rpm drive. ;) _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

                                        The 21.3 inch Samung 213T is pretty near nirvana, especially for $700. Of course now I'm holding out for the 30" Cinema - unless Samsung comes out with something cheaper ;)... Tom Ollar blix: more native than native
