I doubt I'll make anything. I honestly just posted the article to show how easy it is to upgrade the MBP hard drive. It's my first time messing with Amazon Affiliates, and blogspot has a nice plug-in that makes it really easy to go amazon-link-happy.

Ah, that explains a lot. I was wondering why quite a few blogspot articles have amazon links in them. The problem is that it becomes very hard to see the difference between borderline spam and genuine articles. That's also how you got those tor-x links in there, I actually figured that was proof positive it was a spam article, because who would go out of their way to link an affiliate code to a bunch of tools they used.

I'll 'unflag' the article.

Thanks for the explanation!

Interesting. I didn't realize amazon affiliate links carried such a negative connotation. I'll definitely keep that in mind for future posts and remove a few of the affiliate links from this post.

Don't worry about it, it's a pet peeve of mine :)
