Radio Shack, for one place. I get mine from the Mac guy that services all the school computers. Took the cover off an old LCII that someone brought me - I sent him home with an LC 575 - and the battery had puffed up and leaked so bad that it dissolved the connections to the board and left a sienna brown circular patch of corrosive powder on the underside of the lid!! >From now on I'm not leaving old batteries in stored machines. Use a volt meter to check them and chuck them if they don't pass. Terry -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
