My TiBook has recently been unable to determine how much life is left in
its battery.  When I unplug the power, the estimated time left will be
anywhere from 15 to 35 hours.  While in use the estimated time varies

I got a new 17" Powerbook today, but I noticed that the lid doesn't
really close very well.  Is it really supposed to be that loose,
