It's working quite well... after a few charge cycles both packs are giving me around 4-5 hrs of continual use in total - and that's with only minimal power saving switched on too. So I'm quite impressed there. I still have to put the spring loaded catches in, one battery doesn't sit properly and kinda pushes itself out just enough to break contact on the odd occasion. The only real bad thing to happen actually happened yesterday. After a self-imposed drain cycle, the batteries refused to charge, and one even refused to show up on the system. EMMpathy couldn't even get at it. A blast with Intelligent Battery Reconditioner got both "restored" and within a few hours both were charged to 100%. Makes you wonder why Apple called them intelligent batteries? My g/f's PB150 battery limps along with nary a complain in the world despite being on its last leg - unless you want to use them for more than 10 mins! > And when did disco go out of style? ;-> September 8th, 1981. Members from Iron Madien and Judas Priest ran Disco out of town. As they stood at the crossroads, loaded 12-gauge shotguns pointed at Disco's neck, K.K. growls with a southern texan scrawl "We don eva wonah see yer sorry ass 'ere eva again. You unnerstand, son?". Word on the grapevine as that Disco went and joined a hippie commune for 15 years then reappeared as a funny little white guy with a penchant for bizarre headwear. He goes by the name of Jamiroquai... steps are being taken to apprehend him. Sophie Ellis Bextar has also been taken into questioning.
