Wow! I just looked at iFixit.com and it looks as complicated as a
PowerBook to replace the harddrive!.
I think I'm just going to leave it alone (at least until it fails).
I can tackle this level of complexity but it looks like ther is
plenty of opportunity to make things worst =( not better.
I think this leans me towards a backup onto external hard drive,
clean install, and then copy over what she needs now.
Excellent leaning. Consider making that external drive a bootable
clone with Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. Alternatively, use the
external drive with Time Machine. Or take the best of both worlds by
getting two external drives, one for cloning and the other for Time
Machine.

Would there be anything wrong with a single Hard Drive, partitioned
between TM, and Bootable backup ????
[maybe even a 'few' bootable partitions' for several choices.]
