> Yeah, crap happens. But to have a laptop sitting on a desk, not able to be carried around, for 6 weeks....again, would you settle for your car being out of comission for 6 weeks?
Do you have any other power outlets in the house besides the one next to your desk?
It's fine to be pissed at Apple for their having faulty eqipment and being overwhelmed by the recall response. The problem is, you seem determined to bolster your agrieved position by claiming hardship that's just not that impressive.
SOLUTION:
1. Don't use the battery in your house. OR
2. Buy a new battery that's better than a stock battery and have two when the replacement arrives. OR
3. Buy a new battery that's better than a stock battery and eBay the other when it arrives. OR
4. Sell the 'Book (to someone who does most of his work in one place) and buy an Intel machine (a non-Apple Intel machine).
