TMUP 122: End of month Listener and review show
CORRECTION: During the show and the review of the OtterBox product I made a mistake. The case I actually got was the OtterBox for iPod video not the classic case. My error was that I said it was the classic case. I am using this case with an iPod Video, but other than that my statements were correct.
Therefore if you are thinking about getting this case make sure you get the right one. By the way the classic Armor™ series can be submerged in water, but only if it has the classic iPod is in it. In fact, all Armor™ Series cases are waterproof. Thanks to Kristin from OtteBox for helping me clarify this.

Hey Victor,
I just wanted to point out that you started by saying that the listener John wanted to replace the hard drive on his Macbook, but that that is a difficult thing to do etc.
That is true for the Macbook Pro, but for the Macbook it is actually quite trivial. Now, all your other comments about the process, the Catch 22, etc may still apply, but the beauty of the new Macbook is that the user can access the hdd easily (here is a youtube video from Macworld showing the process).
Thanks for a great show!

Thanks for the comment. Yes I was wrong he was talking about a Macbook and not a MBP. Many have told me how wrong I was
