First it was iPods, then the >iPhone, now the MB Air. I've had lots of Apple portables. And I've many times purchased extra batteries. But I've got to admit that I've next to never bothered to carry them with me. I don't even know where my current extra battery is as Its been so long since I've seen it. And I also think I've only had to replace one battery in my long usage of portables. Yes, I do trade up every few years but that is long enough for my usage. So for me, I'd not be ever needing to do an Apple service to replace my battery. And to think that the battery life might be longer than what I get now? Wow. That would be great as well. -- <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Robert Ameeti It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit. -- Harry S Truman <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
