installing a third internal hard drive on a Mac Pro was the simplest procedure I've ever encountered in my 25 years of working with computers. About 5 minutes from start to finish.

I want one! The inside of this tower is nothing short of a work of art. It'll hold 2TB of HD space and 16GB of ram! Runs on 2 dual core Intel Xeon chips up to 3Ghz with 4MB of L2 cache. www.apple.com/macpro

So, why did I leave my old Power Mac G4/400 sitting on the floor under my desk? To run the Migration Assistant portion of the Setup Assistant, so that all of my files and such could easily be transferred over.

A bunch of 'em.

At BAYCAT.
