Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls... up for grabs 40GB 2.5" HD...
Here's the story...
I recently got 2.5" 60GB 7200 RPM HD, which i plan to install into 15" ALboook.
Stock 80GB, goes into FW case, currently occupied by 2.5" 40GB 5400RPM 8MB cache IBM Travelstar GNX HD.
Basically i want to keep stock HD, in case i want to sell this comp.
And here comes the best part...
Because of all help, i received from all of you people (not to mention good laughs during long working hours), i have decided to 'donate' this HD to appleinsider community.
Now, i have no idea how we should do it, so let's gather few ideas, maybe some sort of a contest, or such...
Let's agree on something, then pick a winner.
Sounds OK?
Any participants are welcome.
And no this is not a scam.
Thanks guys!
Here are the specs

THE PRESENT CIVILIAN GOVERNMENT SET UP A CONTRACT REVIEW PANEL AND WE HAVE IDENTIFIED A LOT OF POTENTIAL NEEDS FOR HARDRIVES IN THE CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA.
HOWEVER, BY VIRTUE OF OUR POSITION AS CIVIL SERVANTS AND MEMBERS OF THIS PANEL, WE CANNOT ACQUIRE THESE HARDRIVES IN OUR NAMES. I HAVE THEREFORE, BEEN DELEGATED AS A MATTER OF TRUST BY MY COLLEAGUES OF THE PANEL TO LOOK FOR AN OVERSEAS PARTNER INTO WHOSE HARDRIVES WE WOULD TRANSFER US 38.4GB(THIRTY EIGHT POINT FOUR U.S GIGABYTES) OF HOT RIAA MP3 FILES.

Where can i send you my crdit card details?
P.S. I am still waiting for the $10,000,000 from nigeria to be transfered to my bank account where i will gladly pass it on. Which reminds me, isnt £5000 a bit steep to help you? I can only assume it's all caught up in redtape somewhere.\

He's copying a certain type of junk email. I've gotten a few - basically they say they're from some other country, and they need a discreet US bank account to deposit $12 million or something, and in return for letting them use your bank account they'll let you have a certain percentage again. Of course, it's just a ploy to get your bank account information.
First time I got one I had never heard of that particular kind of spam so I actually read it through, but it's pretty obviously a scam.

We could like exchange moves like E2 > E4 etc.
