Post #300,293 by Another Scott 11/25/08 8:04:15 AM Reply	I'm looking into that, too. :-) There seem to be UltraBay adapters for hard drives that would make the swapping even easier, but it's not clear that it's trivial to boot from one. I'm trying to resist getting a (previous generation) MacBook Pro, though. Too many toys, not enough time... :-) Cheers, Scott.

But if you need/want it, there's the Terminal application that allows you full command-line access a la the Unices. -Mike (who's obviously not going to dissuade you from that previous generation MBP... ;-) "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759 Historical Review of Pennsylvania
