I'm going to chime on on this, because it's been happening to me too. It's mostly a cosmetic flaw, as far as I can tell. It is distracting to see "Calculating..." when the battery is at 100% and isn't charging, so it should say "Plugged In." However, Kevin says he's on a Pismo 500. Jim was on a

This seems to be a pismo specific problem. I have a pismo (500) and an icebook (600/combo) and when the ibook is fully charges, it changes from the time (or calculating) to (Plugged In). It says calculating just for a few seconds just my $0.02. On Saturday, November 2, 2002, at 08:02 AM, Tony
