Powerbook Hard Drive Replacement
Yesterday I followed the ifixit hard drive replacement guide to upgrade the drive in my Powerbook to a 5400rpm 100GB unit. I have to say their instructions were dead-simple to follow, although I was distracted while dealing with a work crisis. It only took about an hour and a half. Then I found out that I left off two rubber bumpers on the drive to isolate it from shock and had to do it again today. Time to disassemble and reassemble  30 minutes.
Make sure you print out their handy screw guide before you start. I used double-sided tape to make sure none of the microscopic screws roamed off. Having the right tools really helps as well.
