Lol ! Nice one Dan. Interested in the higher capacity of the 3500 battery, as I've never had any issues charging their batts in my 3400 charger, so I must have one of the later ones. Btw - is it just me or were these the best batts Apple ever made - I'm still getting good life out of most of these that I see. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
