No.... there IS a battery in the iMac. There's just no -rechargeable- battery in the iMac. Unplugging the iMac, or turning off the power strip it's connected to, can cause the battery to run down. Since it's not rechargeable, you have to replace it. -- Jeremy Derr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Low End Macs - G-Books "ListNanny" Any statements herein represent my opinion and do not represent those of my employer.
