jvlgato Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 I ended up not wearing them much, not due them being frameless but because they were progressive. I could never get used to them. Problem is that I need reading glasses more than ever but I still will not get progressives. That's too bad, because I resisted for years, and finally gave in. Now I love them, and can't believe I didn't have them before! So nice to be able to both see distance AND read. I'll ask my optometrist (my brother!) if there's anything that might help, like a less aggressive Rx for the reading part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monkey Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 How hard is to replace HD in an iMac? I have a mid/late 2006 iMac (the one with C2D & 3gb memory limit) and I haven't gone that route yet for the fear of messing something up. Haj, we're basically in the same boat--mine is early '06. If an SSD drive would speed this thing up noticeably, it would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 If storage capacity is needed both of you should take a long look at the hybrid drives that Marc posted about in the Macce thread. I've got one in my laptop now and it's working well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 I thought about the hybrid drive as well. I may also just leave the iMac alone and upgrade the hard drive on my MacBook, which is actually a faster machine than my iMac, but I just like having using the bigger screen.

Dusty Chalk Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 "All Things Must Vinyl" would be a great name for a store. Or website. Or personal slogan. Or... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp11801 Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 argh replacing the HD in the mac book pro was no picnic even after formatting via a usb case to extended journaling the MBP could not see the drive. I had to pull the drive case it load the OSX disc to it and then reinstall to get it to boot up. This fucked me out of snow leopard, I admit I may be computer challenged but I've done a fair bit of hardware changes. This was with a corsair f120 ssd and that may have been the problem.

boomana Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Two cases of the Leonidas Belgium chocolate lollipops! Thanks, Dan, for reminding me of these. With 30 in each case, I just covered delicious little gifts for all my co-workers, the neighbors, my family, and most importantly, for me! Not bad.
