NHL Playoff Round 2 predictions

It didn't work out as well as round 1, and it is too late to make prediction for round 3. Let's put it this way, I am all for a Ducks-Senator final. I like both teams (the Senators a little more, but my hockey pool has more ducks) and it would be a very exciting series.

New Hard Drive for my MacBook

I just got this new 120GB 7200rpm SATA note book hard drive to replace the stock 60GB one that comes with my MacBook.

Mac OS X, Parallels, Windows XP, Visual Studio 2005, Macromedia Studio 8, my own portfolio, work folders etc filled up the hard drive pretty quickly. I often had only 2 to 3 GB remaining disk space--and I haven't even put any music file or game on it.

The hard drive installation was a snap--much easier than replacing hard drives in Power Book G4. I installed Windows XP on my Boot Camp partition and I finally can run Visual Studio at its native speed. The superior IO speed is also very much welcomed.

I am very happy with the purchase and I have installed Microsoft Expression Blend and Expression Web from my MSDN subscription to test out the new software. I have also purchased a very nice-looking external enclosure by Vantec to house the stock hard drive.

PS. It is a shame that Parallels nor VMWare fusion supports Vista on Boot Camp partitions; I would be running Vista instead of Xp had there be better support. Also, I usually like to partition my hard drive into a few partitions for Windows. Boot Camp, etc., however, don't seem to support multiple Windows partition very well. I hope the final release will offer such an option.
