[Ti] During the recall

[Rod Duncan]

Personally I think the whole issue is a bit of a tempest in a teapot. 
If it was a *real* serious issue they wouldn't be allowing us to keep 
the batteries until the new ones arrive. While happy to get a new 
battery form them, none of the Apple batteries have gone boom with 
only a couple of complaints and this after 1.8 million in the field. 
I'm using my 1.67 AI as usual. Always kept my powerbooks on a 
minimalist lap pad for increased ventilation and protection and will 
continue to do so.
