[quote mattkime]How long have you been using the battery? The risk is no higher now than it was before.
Actually, it is.
Now *I* own the liability should I choose to continue using the battery that was built with known defects.
I couldn't face myself if I selfishly chose to use the battery and in doing so caused a fire that destroyed my house (for which I would likely get no insurance coverage, due to my neglect of using a battery that Apple said to stop using) or killed any of my family.
And Apple, due to its negligence in dealing with its suppliers, has put me in that position.
I did not spend my money to have Apple look at me and say, "Gee, well, don't carry your computer around for the next 6 weeks."
