John Olinda Battery, SuperDrive, and feet have all been replaced on my 2009 MacBook Pro and replacement charger is on the way. Here's to one more year, old chap.

Anatasof Wirapraja I used to have 2009 MBP and replaced the superdrive with 128GB SSD and upgraded the RAM to 16GB, prolonged it's life until the logic board stop functioning in late 2012. I wish today's rMBP are hackable like the old ones.

John Olinda Yeah, not looking forward to upgrading to a soldered-down laptop, which is why I'm considering moving away from Mac. But then I feel like one of those people that threatens to move to Canada every time an election doesn't go their way, so we shall see.
