I appreciate it and plan to upgrade my first generation MacBook. I'm interested in the FireWire enclosure idea. Do you mind telling me how that works? Also, do you know if there's a limit on the size of first generation MacBook expansion. I'm considering a 7200 RPM 250 GB drive.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Marc</p> This is very informative.

There’s a good “How To” on iFixIt, but it uses the phrase “this is a little bit tricky” pretty often…
