Mac Portable

Actually, from what I've read on the net, it's no big deal to rebuild
the battery. If you open it up, it's just 3(?) Gates Cylon 2V cells.

As for a source for a charger, here's my two favorite Mac places:

        Intragate (intramac_at_aol.com) 505-265-7759
        Timco Computers (lance_at_lance.seanet.com) 206-933-6090
                http://www.timco-computers.com

Intragate has slightly better prices, but Timco is slightly more likely
to have it in stock. YMMV
