Well done

Peter! as Henry say's, to what ever we have to do for him.. bless.
It may be the case that you qualify for a free replacement battery so
Check your Battery Serial Number.
Both my machines have replacement new batteries even the one I got off eBay and also a few others I've worked on so fingers crossed.
Not only that but with the new operating system Leopard installed, it's like having a new machine, although you may need to max out your ram for the best performance.

I saw Cathy today who is back in London with her nose to the grindstone painting out her flat in Rotherhithe ready for her new tenants. I've offered to help and I'm replacing the bath and wash basin for her and putting some tiles up.

Dad has some news about an operation on his legs to relieve the pain that comes with walking so good luck with that ol' china. It's quite a straight forward day operation, but I'm not sure if you'll be able to drive yourself home my dear. You might be better off with Steve's taxi service LOL.
