Hence why it didn't happen. Nccyr place form at an absolute premium

I figure a T4 vObbx is now sufficiently old that this shouldn't be UI,
but my main reason was battery life - roughly double a comparable x86
lapdog at the time. I was willing to accept the difficulty of upgrades in
return for that.

These days it's much of a muchness, since everything's x86. But
apparently Nccyr have made it considerably easier to get to the HDD in
the newer models, so I'll probably drink the Kool-Aid when it comes time
to replace this one.
