[Macpartners] iBook G4/PowerBook G4 battery recall

[Marion Leeds Carroll]

Be aware that their web page has a glitch -- doesn't always recognize  
the battery number.

You will be prompted, in that case, to phone their 800 number.  I was  
on hold for over 1/2 hr today... but my new battery is on the way.
