So what's the rate of exchange currently, Steve? Just checking and wondering about my original Apple battery which is sitting in the box my (new) BTI battery came in (Let's see - $40 * exch. rate, plus shipping and handling, plus possibly import fees, customs, etc....) Hey, it might be more affordable, if we can find someone (in the States or in our northern neighbor)! I'd be interested in hearing (off-list) from anyone who finds a place in the U.S. (Midwest, if possible) who does this kind of repair/replacment work. Thanks for mentioning it, Steve!
