Re: 'Upgraded' Apple iMacs lock out hard drive replacement

1) Already being discussed here
2) 'Replacement' is probably the wrong word, after all the component itself is replaceable - for example if it fails under warranty you can take it to an Apple shop and they'll replace the drive for free. 'Upgrading' is probably better term to use.
