Re: [libreoffice-users] is MSFT running scared ...

The trick is to find the old style PATA laptop drives, or at least one 
that is larger than what is currently in my system.

As for doing swapping of parts, my oldest laptop I currently have 
requires you to remove the keyboard to access things like the memory 
module.  I bought two 1GB mods. and I had to give up replacing one since 
it was under the keyboard and the instructions given my the manual to 
access parts below the keyboard was totally wrong and does not work at 
all.  So I must keep the 256MB in that one and forget about getting two 
mods. installed.  The drive was in too tight to remove safely.  At least 
the Optical drive was only two screws, since I have had to replace it 
twice during the warranty time.

I know one Win7 laptop my friend has that used two drives to give him 
more space than other systems have.  I would love to replace my oldest 
laptop's drive larger than the current 80GB and my dual booting one 
needs a larger one than the 160GB drive.  Having Win7 and Ubuntu 
12.10.MATE on one small drive, does not leave much room for larger data 
files.  I rather not buy an external mobile drive that was made to be 
used with laptops.  I rather not have to make sure that an external one 
is hauled around in a bag with the laptop, packing and unpacking, etc..  
It would be much safer to have the data internally to the system.
