That's my other system, Macbook pro (mid 2012). It's a good little 
slugger when I can't lug the big box around. I'll have to keep an eye 
open for a sale although if my Win 7 install continues to act up this 
might happen sooner rather than later.

Thanks for the advice Teddy, Brian. If anything like Brian said, I can 
probably get an external enclosure although thunderbolt enclosures are 
horribly pricey still if I go Mac.
