So finally got around to checking my PowerBook batteries. Went to the Mac Support page, http://www.apple.com/support/. Saw the item “iBook G4 and PowerBook G4′. Compared the bad battery serial number to the numbers of my two batteries. All is good. Returned a day later to the same support page and saw a new entry, ’15-inch MacBook Pro’. Selected this item. It has a different range of serial numbers for bad batteries. I have one bad battery and one good one.

So signed up for the replacement battery. Will arrive 4-6 weeks according to the email confirmation I received. Though I suspect the overload of requests will make this something like 6-8-10 weeks. I’m good though. I use the power mostly at work. Only really use the batter when I’m downstairs working on the couch while attempting to watch TV.

Sometimes I wonder about hoe I developed the ability to write code while also watching a movie. Though I also thing about the adult onset ADD I’ve developed over the many years of working and going a thousand different directions all at once. Well probably best not to analyze things like this.
