So I decided to switch to Mac a little over a week ago. I've had nothing but problems with Apple since I documented the whole ordeal on my blog, url in my sig. luckily I ended up saving a bunch of money in the end. So ultimately all I lost was time and a a bit of respect for Apple's phone reps.

I still can't wait to get my MBP after all this

The MBP that I ordered from Apple had the 160 gb drive. But the next one that I ordered had the default 120 gb drive. I figured that if I need the space I'll pop out the 120, put it in an enclosures, and put a 160 or 200 in my MBP.

Grats on the new backup drive
