The worst part of it is I was content with my 2007 MBP until I started playing with her new MBA.
Am now giving serious consideration to popping for a SSD and using a data doubler from OWC to swap my 500GB HD for the optical drive on my MBP.

EDIT: just did additional research and found out data doubler only works in unibody MBPs so I will have to do a straight swap if I decide to go that route.

Nice - Congrats!! I have to admit I sort of want one of the new Airs - but can't justify it right now. If I start traveling a lot again - that might change. :) Congrats on the new machine.

Thanks!

But, isn't fact that you don't already have one sufficient justification . . . ..? ;)
