Yes, you can replace them one at a time, and your best bet is probably to recell them rather than buy "new" "replacements" off eBay. Any NiCd battery that has sat unused for longer than about a year will be *very* difficult to bring back to life. If you're not up to the recelling yourself, check with your local Batteries Plus or Battery Outlet. -- the pickle FAQ <http://macfaq.org/index.shtml> _________________________________________________________________ -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
