Recalled! Or not?
Apple is recalling 1.8 million battery packs for its iBook and PowerBook notebook computers because of an overheating problem.
The recall affects iBook G4 and PowerBook G4 computers sold from October 2003 through this month.
Eeeks, that's me!
According to the article:
::sniff, sniff::
UPDATE... Well, I just extracted my battery, and the serial number falls outside of this recall and barely outside of the 2005 Battery Exchange Program. But it seems to be to be just a matter of time before a defect is found and I gotta send it in.
