PSA: Mac battery recall
Since I know there's at least three people on my flist who might be affected by this: Apple's announced a battery recall and exchange for certain iBook and PowerBook models.
Having just found out about this now, I fully expect that when I go home in the next couple of hours, it will develop that my laptop's battery is one of those affected, and that it will demonstrate this by having overheated and set my house on fire. OK, "fully expect" is perhaps a bit strong, but still.
Update (18:09): Yes, my battery is one of the ones affected; no, my house didn't burn down. But 4-6 weeks for the replacement to arrive is irksome.
