@RobertAHunter need keyboard, $500 price too high. but thx for suggestion. 🙂 also considering sticking out w/laptop, getting android phone. in reply to RobertAHunter #
or of course I just keep rolling as is, since the damn thing still works so long as it's connected to power. #
2) buy new netbook. $300+ (I use my laptop mostly for writing/browsing, some coding. will NOT go w/out keyboard.) #
1) buy new battery, upgrade OS (from tiger to snow leopard) ~$220. (optionally: max out the ram.) #
ye olde macbook battery now completely dead. (registers as NO battery on the meter, doesn't charge.) so I have (at least) 2 options… #
