Current issues

The old TravelStar 12 Meg dist was very noisy. I have replaced it with a WDC WD800BEVE-00UYT0, ATA DISK drive.

I has thought about putting in a solid state disk, but it was too expensive, and I was not sure how long they last etc. Hopefully this will become a good option in the near future. I would think that a 600X with a SSD could become a very cheap eepc heavy.
