New drives for the laptops.

I was planning on getting a new hard drive for the Titanium anyway, but I was going to take that old drive out and put it into the Wallstreet, since it was quite a bit bigger (20GB vs. 4GB) and ran quieter. It would have made a great drive to try installing Tiger on, via XPostFacto. Unfortunately, it's about to die, so I went hunting for not one, but two new laptop drives.

Chris helped me get a price check on some drives, and ultimately I went for couple of 60GB 5400rpm Western Digital Scorpio drives for $80 bucks from the Dell Small Business store, which I found through dealmac. Total damage: $175 shipped. Not bad, but not as good as the $20 Western Digital 80GB desktop drives I scored last week from Best Buy.
