	Ouch! Yes. I imagined that'd be good for it. :-(

	So -- VDQ #1: is there any hope of resurrecting the dead one?

	VDQ #2: When you do want to run the ibook 24/7 for some time, 
should you just do it plugged in and without battery? (It does run 
plugged in with the dead battery.) Fool thing takes forever to boot ...
