Hello,

I've been on this list since September of 2004, and I have a total of  
40 messages.  That's all time.  Heh.

Anyway, I have Powerbook G4 12", which, when using wireless with  
Safari, or wireless and iTunes (AirTunes), I can get about 4.5 hours  
from a fully charged battery.  That's now.  My battery capacity does  
not seem to have decreased since I purchased this Powerbook back in  
September.  I, personally, see no point in buying another battery,  
unless you use yours up on a consistent basis.

HTH
