Amusingly, I got my thinkpad w/a stock 120G drive and then replaced it  
with a 250G drive and put the 120G drive in my ultrabay tray, not  
bothering with an optical, since I rarely have need for it. Then a few  
months ago, I started playing with solid-state drives. Now all I have  
in my thinkpad is an 80G Intel X25-M ssd. The speed, power savings and  
silence make it well worth it. But I'd like a MacBook Pro with this  
drive even more... ;)
