If you can change the battery in a 4400 in two minutes I'd be
impressed ;-)

It took me about half an hour to figure out how to get the drive bays
out, which looks to be practically essential for changing the battery.
It's the price you pay for a PC standard case and cheapness. Definitely
not one of Apple's better designs.

Maplin didn't sell the battery that's in at least the 4400 and 5200 when
I checked a few months ago, but I've not looked in the latest catalgue.
The battery is a fairly large cuboid, not the 1/2 AA lithium like many
others.
