When the original GS was introduced, the battery was touted as a 20 year life-span rechargeable battery. Oops - some were better than others. I recently picked up a brand new ROM 01 GS from a local Apple dealer and the battery charged right up and appears to work fine, ie it keeps the settings when not plugged in for weeks at a time.
Amazing - thats the 4th brand new system I've found. It blows my mind. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Howard R.
