Oh, and...?
I just bought a battery on Ebay for my old iBook, so I can have portable word-processing power again! YAY! I thought about actually buying a new laptop, and then realized that I have a perfectly good one except it doesn't have a battery that works. Let's see ... I could pay $50 for a battery on Ebay, or $1000 for a new laptop when all I need it to do is run a word processor. HMMM!
