Two things:
1) When you want to start a new thread, don't use "reply to" from
another thread, as this confuses the thread with your new subject...
2) Recelled batteries are great as long as they were built carefully
and aren't over sized (ie they fit into the Newton properly). Most of
the ones I have done are UGLY, but they work fantastically and are
better then the original battery when new. Just be careful who you buy
from...

I recommend avoiding him, but some people on the list have had good
experiences with him too, your call.
