Oh Sure, But What If I Might Save The World At The Same Time?<\/b><\/p>\n

I’ve been having big problems keeping the little iBook connected to the wireless. Of course, so have hundreds of other owners of two or three year-old iBooks. What’s the connection? Batteries. They’re dying.<\/p>\n

Batteries can’t hold a charge, can’t power the wireless card, can’t stay connected. In fact, the charge indicator shows 80% left right now, but this computer has quit with 75% (and two hours) showing, so who can really say?<\/p>\n

My old battery is kaput, so why wouldn’t it fail to power the Airport card?<\/p>\n

And why wouldn’t the boys and girls in the Apple support discussions think of that?<\/p>\n

Why should I possibly think that I’m smarter than them? I don’t, so what’s the connection? Why did everybody’s Airport card fail all at once?<\/p>\n
