I've been a notebook as my primary machine person for about six years  
now. In all that time, I've never once replaced a battery. Previously,  
I replaced my notebook every three years or so. Now, I replace them  
about every 18 months, buying them with our developer's license and  
then selling them 18 months later or so for a little less than I paid  
for it to keep current.

In theory, theory and practice are the same.
In practice, they are not.
