Re: Applecare in Florida

On Apple's website, they state that the laws apply only to consumers, which is explained as anyone who uses the computer without monetary gain. Does anyone know how this all works in Florida?

Re: TiBook vs. AlBook ??
Ti Books always have and always will have terrible wireless reception. The poor reception has to do with the books titanium shell. The only way to get decent reception is to use a wireless card that plugs into the computers PC Card/ CardBus slot and has an external antennae. The only other way to improve the reception is to remove the titanium shell and cover it with something else. 700MHz iBook running 10.2.8 Macs for life! http://homepage.mac.com/nikon80x/Menu2.html -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I infrequently use the battery, like once every 2 months, but it can't hold a charge. I hate forking out $150 every year for the battery. I'm I missing something, or do they normally last this short?
