When It Rains...

...it pours. At least with technology problems.

Just five days after getting my PowerBook back and happy, it turns out that the battery in the silly thing qualifies for Apple's recall program (short version: Sony's batteries are, shall we say, explosively good, and Dell is recalling 4-some million batteries, while Apple is recalling 1.8M)

If you have a PowerBook G4 or iBook G4, get yourself checked.

Looks like my laptop is a de-facto desktop computer until my new battery arrives. Pity.
