I'm still waiting on the 40gb price from OWC...I do love the Pismo as a writing machine and I have a number of them, so if one fails, I could just swap the SSD drive around...may still be worth getting one for the writing work. The lower power consumption would be a nice plus...

There's just something about the ergonomics of the Pismos...I'll keep using them as long as I can, I guess.
