If someone asks you to do this, the appropriate response is, "no thanks, I'd rather be water boarded." Holy crap that was Satanic.

I've been working on computers for years and years. Most things I could do in my sleep. Heck I've spliced power supplies, cut traces on prototype circuit boards; not terribly afraid of anything. So how hard could be taking the HD out of an old iBook G4. It takes literally less than sixty seconds on my PC. Well, it isn't impossibly difficult, you just have to take the whole god damned iBook more or less completely apart to get to the hard drive. :suicide: Fifty Seven Steps. There are fewer in taking an LS engine out of C5 I think. :smack:

I built my first computer September of 91. It was a 486-33 with a 40mb HD. It had 4 mb of Ram. Damn it was fast!:smack:
