1) Yay! I have not bought any presents for anyone yet. Except Sister, but hey.
3) I was able to get the hard drive out; it pops out quite easily, in fact, without actually having to open the laptop. Assuming I haven't managed to b0rk it in the process of fiddling, that is. Will keep an eye out for an adapter.
4) Yes, yes. I should probably just give up and find a pirate copy of XP to put on, because I'm too apathetic to put in the effort to make Linux worth it. However, I'm also too apathetic to put in the effort to back up my files and install a new OS, so.
5) They have mastered the art of bilocation (http://www.themystica.com/mystica/articles/b/bilocation.html)! Or they have two tour groups going at once. Yeah, that was more of a pipe dream attempting to fill space - I'm sure there are cheaper concerts around that I'd have as much fun at, anyway, if I felt concert-going-y.
