[ccp4bb] OT: Has anyone experienced problems with Apple laptop battery expansion?

[William G. Scott]

Hi folks: I'm trying to get a sense for how frequently this sort of thing occurs: That was a macbook air that served me well for four years, but then self-destructed. (I took it to the Apple store.  They generously offered to repair it for $800 or to sell me a new one, and suggested this was normal if you leave the power cord attached after the battery charges, even while giving a lecture or seminar.)  It strikes me as a bit dangerous. --Bill Scott William G.
