Running with out wires.

With our tax return money Jen spent the $100.00 to buy me a new battery for my Mac. When I acquired it from Jen it had a bad battery and charger. Our dog Cookie had bitten through the charger and Cam spliced it back together. The bad charger led to a bad battery. At the one point the battery was so bad that the computer would shut off the second you unplugged it, even if it was in sleep mode. I swapped that bad battery for Jess' battery out of his then dead Mac. That batter was bad too, but way better then mine. It would hold enough of a charge that I could grab the plug and put it back in before the Mac turned off. What's more, if the Mac was in sleep mode it would last almost 12 hours on the battery.

Where am I going with this?

Well, when Jen bought her new mac 2 years ago we got a new charger for this Mac. This year we got a new battery. The one complaint I've had with this computer is that it's not really portable. You can't unplug it and use it.

The battery came in this morning. After opening the box and letting it sit around for a few hours to warm up I stuck it in the computer and charged it. I've been running on the battery for 10 mins now and it's still working. I'm going to drain it all the way then recharge it.

Now I just need my stupid 'w' key fixed. Every now and then it sticks.
