Justin,
I've seen some reports of certain Macs shutting themselves off. What
kind of Mac do you have and I'll try to find out more information.

last night, as I was using my computer on the battery, it just
turned itself off for no apparent reason. It was as though the
battery were completely dead, but I was able to turn the system
back on to see that the battery level was at 61% and that I had 2
hours and 51 minutes of time to use the computer before the battery
was to actually die. The computer actually shut off shortly after
I looked at this in my energy preferences, and I was not able to
get it to log into the system without plugging it in first. It
would only go as far as the initial first screen where it plays
that big f sharp major chord, and then just shut off. I had tried
to calibrate the battery a few nights before as it had been doing
the same thing. Oh yah, also, when I pressed the button on the
battery, the lights indicated that it was about half full, 2 to 3
of 5 total lights were illuminated .
What is going on all. Is it possible that I just didn't calibrate
the battery properly, or is my harddrive crashing? I tried to run
my battery flat and leave it for 5 hours, then I plugged it in and
left it for more than 2 hours after it said fully charged. Oh
yeah, and I did charge it up at the beginning before flattening
it. I was using it the whole time with the exception of the 5 hour
flattening period.
Thanks for any help
