I also was wondering how old a laptop must be to still belong to the new laptop kind, referring to Lee's remarks. On my G4 powerbook ( I have no idea and haven.t tried to find out as yet what kind of battery it has, but it is still the titanium thing, not the aluminum and lighter kind) I was also told that it would be better to let it run down once in awhile and not always keep it plugged in. So I let it run down into the 60th and then plug it in again. Is that low , medium or still high? We are dealing here with non specified amounts of time and charges, and I really don't know the category I would fit in. Marta
