That won't cover the cost of gas :thumbsdown:

$100, including the burner

Changing drives in a mac is the same as on a PC, OS9 or OSX (I've done it on both)

If you have security issues (you think he wants to butt rape you) have a friend go with you... I do work orders for CompUSA and my friend is always there with me incase something happens, we both carry butterfly knifes too...

I'd say $60 to justify the trouble, make sure you make him sign an agreement holding you non-liable for any data loss.

It's the same as a PC. However macs will only boot off mac drives. Everything else will still work tho.

i'd do $100 + cost of burner.

You've got to be the most paranoid person on the planet. The vast majority of craigslist stuff goes A-OK. I've sold two cars on it, bought a car, checked out a lot of cars and motorcycles, got free stuff, and more, and never had a problem. You just have to have an ounce of common sense, and agree to meet in a public place so you can scope each other out. And obviously don't carry around loads of cash.

Of course, I stay away from the personals, except for my own amusement😛

~$65 + Buner Cost

Sell it to someone else, it's not worth your trouble.

What burner?
