[Ti] During the recall

[John Holt]

I think I read the incidence rate of failure on these batteries is . 
0003.  I can live with those odds. My 1.67 is still going strong and  
from my temperature montor I see at the moment the bottom side of my  
computer is running at 118 degrees F and my battery is running at 86  
degrees F.  My battery is on order but I am more worried about  
crossing the street.
