and it was UPS calling to

Again, I just have to thank so much for the information about the iBook

My Understanding is that you should use the computer on battery power
alone at least infrequently, if not regularly, and you should use the
iBook until the battery is fully discharged. These activities are
actually good for the performance of the battery, and necessary.

Apologies to the list for my previous message. It was intended to be a
private reply. That was the first time I used my G-mail account to
reply to a message, and I didn't notice that it was going to the list.
It won't happen again!

be more expensive than a well functioning second hand battery. But
obviously it depends on just how dead the battery really is.
