The "Garden" state
wow. I am so lucky right now...

so this morning i go to burn a cd, but remember my blank ones are across the room...i get up, and my foot gets tangled in my palm cradle, which in turn gets tangled wiht my ibook charge cable, which sends my ibook, with OPEN CD TRAY flying.
needless to say my cdrw-dvdrom tray is ****ed.
I took it to the apple store, and they were able to fish out the bent metal runner that fell inside my comptuer, and made sure everything else was ok...but they (obviously) cant fix the tray since it is accidental damage and falls outside applecare.

Still, my ibook is alive and working, something that i was sure would never ever happen again 4 hours ago...

but since i dont have $690 for a new internal drive, any advice on a good external?
I would prefer a firewire one if they existed.
I have a 900mhz ibook.
Thanks.
