Hi Tim, Great news that you have sorted your trackball, and let us know if you get anywhere with the battery (before you break it open you might want to try some of the experts on this lists suggestions, like reconditioning, PRAM resets etc.). With the India question you have hit on one of the most pleasant surprises I ever had with Apple. I'm in Australia (240V), and typically have to buy a local adaptor plug for US made modems, printers etc. bought overseas. With the duo AC adaptor, however, all that needs replacing is the lead that actually plugs into the wall, the power brick itself auto senses which voltage (110 - 240) and corrects appropriately. And since the wall lead is a bog standard PC cord, they are easy to find almost anywhere. Regards, Michael Skeggs [EMAIL PROTECTED] At 20:57 21/03/2000 -0600, Timothy C.
