		<title>Upgrading a MacBook</title>
		<description><![CDATA[*Note: I&#8217;ve decided to stop using the &#8220;DAILY:&#8221; prefix on my daily posts because using the category &#8220;DAILY&#8221; seems a lot smarter.
While spending hours going through her MP3 collection and consolidating all of her music from various external hard drives onto her laptop, my lovely fiancée Liana realized that she was quickly running out of [...]]]></description>
