Re: [PLUG] New Macbooks

[Aaron Mulder <ammulder@alumni.princeton.edu>]

I get more battery life than a fair number of non-Mac people around
me, and I have one of the models with a removable battery.  If you
offer me the chance to have a substantial increase in battery life AND
a battery that doesn't wear out as fast, just what exactly is the down
side?

And how can it be a money grab by Apple if it means 1) nobody buys an
extra battery and 2) people don't need to buy replacement batteries as
often?

Still, I'll keep my liver, thanks.

Thanks,
       Aaron
