The three batteries I changed were all (by some odd coincidence) in
Switzerland- I think I probably know more people with *old* Macs there...
Swiss Mac dealers appear to have no problems at all about selling batteries
to lusers. Maybe it's different here? But I got my Mac from Trams in
Victoria and they have never caused me any hassles of that kind. Mind you,
after the intial set-up I've never   had any problems with my Mac beyond
inserting and unplugging memory, so I've not seen them in the past two
years...

Believe me this is a wildly different experience from the PCs I owned
previously, where from constant practice I became an expert in fishing
about inside. With this 7500, I forget from one time to the next how to
open and unfold the thing...

I guess you pay more and get better quality... My daughter has an LCII that
was recycled 12 months ago, after being used continuously for two years on
"People's Century", and it still works perfectly.

By the way, Rowland is right; the plastic battery clip which fits over the
top is a tiny bit fiddly but with the machine open in front of you, I seem
to remember that it's pretty obvious what to do.
