They want the $100 bucks regularly too... If the battery lasts 2 yrs, your
unit cost goes up by 20% to keep it longer!!

Spoken like a true fan.
Only time will tell on that one Tom.
But with Apple releasing a new version every couple of years of

Of course the battery replacement plan should be similar to the iPod plan
where they give you a new/refurb unit. So for $100 you get a new iPad.

You go to good restaurants.
Battery prices will be all over the place. Price is not always an
indicator of quality, manufacturer is.
Much like designer clothes. Very often made in the same factory to
the same specs and a similar shirt, but with two wildly varying price tags.
I see where

Batteries have been nonreplaceable in iPods since 1st gen.
I'm talking about the new tech batteries Tom mentioned.

So am I.
The unibody MacBooks and MacBook Pros have used the new tech

I spent $52 today on weekly food shopping, after $18 in coupons. My
point is that the savings from changing the battery yourself vs. paying
much more to have the shop do the same thing is like finding free money.
You can do weekly shopping with it or you can splurge or you can
save/invest it.
Fixing things is not my problem.
Replaced and upgraded hard drives in many Laptops, and in
Netbooks. (Upgraded memory in sons and is companions netbook, and
swapped out the HD in one of them. pretty simple to work on really.)
No drink needed. Drink celebrated of course.

them by requiring units with dead batteries get
