[Ti] Received Battery - And One More Thing...

[Rod Duncan]

First off, apologies to everyone if this is old news. I'm just real 
LATE to the enable "Safe Sleep" party for unsupported powerbooks and 
various other computers.

Found a cool, free app "SuspendNow!"  that enables "Safe Sleep" while 
not disabling regular sleep and also allowing secure virtual memory 
(providing your computer supports) all from the included scripts. 
Tres cool!

Needless to say, I calibrated the new replacement battery using the 
most recent Apple suggested technique for "Safe Sleep" computers.

Okay, I'm through having this chat with myself.
