Warren, Connecticut. Since starting to use Aperture I've been regretting my decision to not put a 7200 RPM internal HD in this computer when I fixed its then dead hard disk which broke in an accident.

 

I've been spending a lot of time in Aperture editing images and given that I can't upgrade memory any more than the two gigs that's currently in this computer, I figured I'd attempt to eek a bit more speed out of this box by upgrading the internal HD.

 

Given that I'd done it before the job was easy. Follow the above links to find out how it's done.

 

Today will be the test of this as I plan to spend a few hours in Aperture but so far I'm noticing a bit of a speed bump just in the system and a ffew of my regular apps like Safari and Mail. No extra heat (yet) which was a fear and the entire process has been painless. Thank god for SuperDuper! which I used to clone the old internal to a backup, then copy back over the new drive once it was installed. SD worked flawlessly as it always has.

About to put together my new home file server.

Notice, it's not a hard-disk drive.

These are the contents of a Maxtor internal hard drive. It was advertised as a 30-Gig, but never had more than 28.6 gigabytes on it. This is the drive that came installed on my HP Pavilion computer that I bought at Wal-Mart in December 2000. The computer has been good to me in these five and a half years, but finally quit this month.

Slightly edited shot of a severe case of Gadget-mania breaking out in my house in Amsterdam. Taken with my Panasonic DMC-FZ8. No editing besides some added contrast&saturation, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)

 

I've mentioned it last week, I've bought some new Gadgets to enhance my Multimedia options and make full use of the wicked possibilities that the Interwebs and the 21st Century in general throw our way...so, to show you how I managed to get my YouTube puddle reflection movies onto my new 32 Inch Flat screen TV (yay :))), follow the white rabbit photos, and enjoy watching how I connected my living room to that obscure online world we all love so much ... :)

 

Step 3: Free the serious Storage unit from its little prison and connect it to your PC where you can fill it with movies that you've downloaded illegaly from the Net movies that you have purchased legally in a shop...
