To exchange a HD in a Mac Book Pro you do not have to take off the top case..it slides out right behind the battery, that's it... that's all there is..
"This is my second MacBook Pro, and I took apart my first one with no problems and got it back together. So I considered myself experienced in the art of getting it taken apart and putting it back together."Love that line ;)
Most of the Macs are a pain in the ass when it comes to hard drive replacement. The iBooks have the drive so buried that you have to disassemble the whole unit to get at the drive. Lame.
Why is it that if there's a digg story about something annoying with a PC, the "Macs don't have this problem" posts get dugg down, but when it's a story about something annoying with a Mac, the "Dells don't have this problem" posts get dugg up?Even worse, there's a common misperception that it's actually the other way around (why do you think you always see those "I know I'm going to get dugg down, but <something bad about Apple>" posts with a high digg count?).

The old PowerBook G3's were just about the easiest things EVER to upgrade. Pull the keyboard off, replace the CPU, RAM, Hard Drive, Airport, etc.
