Click on the title of this link if you happen to have a new MacBook Pro. There is a recall on the batteries; i've known about it now for several weeks but haven't been able to take care of it, what with working around the clock and all. Right after Steven got here a few weeks ago, he was at Donkey, Athens most fabulous coffee house using their WIFI while we were between the internets. He called me at work in a frenzy, declaring my Mac a piece of junk, because it shuts down after about 4 minutes unless you are plugged in and not using the battery. Lucky me, my serial number is W8607... Shanghai; 2006; 07th week. Nice to know how that works. Now if I could just get off hold with AppleCare.

I don't feel Mac is a piece of junk. I've been thinking about getting a iBook.
Tricia: Try going to apple.com, click on the support tab, and look for "battery exchange." You can enter your serial # and it will figure out whether your battery gets replaced for free or if you have to pay a little bit if it has had a normal lifespan already.
John: certainly not! It is the best computer i've had. I especially love the fact that no junk gets downloaded unbeknownst to me, while i'm online. Those commercials where the PC guy has a cold, and the Mac guy doesn't are really true!
