I have an apple G4 laptop, and every time I unplug it from its power cord, it automatically shuts down. You'd think that the battery would be dead, but at the top of the screen it says 99%. Then again, when I turn it over and press the button on the battery, it doesn't light up at all. But it couldn't be a dead battery, because it says 99%, right? But all the same, whenever I unplug it, it automatically shuts down and won't start again until I plug it in. :(
please help!

I want to be able to store valuable family photos and kid's games on an external hard drive, thus freeing up my desk top's memory. Will this enhance the performance of my computer at all? Is an 80 GB external HD adequate? Thanks!

When my pc manufacturer upgraded my pc they failed to give me any software. So now that I've formatted C:\ and reinstalled windows I can't get my USB2.0 to work because I don't have the drivers!!!

*Is it because i'm writing from files stored on a USB External hard drive?
*OR is it because i tried to update the driver and downloaded the wrong one? if so, how'd i find out what model i have? it doesn't say on the invoice or drive and there are several to download online...

cheers guys!

If they can, what do they range in price?

If not, is there one that does work with a MAC? And where can I get one and for how much??

I am looking at buying a new Lenovo laptop and i'm looking at two different models and was wondering which you think i should go with:

ThinkPad R60e - $969.00
Intel® Core Duo Processor T2400 (1.83GHz)
15" XGA (1024x768)
80GB, 5400rpm SATA
CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo
6 Cell 2.4Ah Lithium-Ion

ThinkPad T60 - $1,154.00
Intel® Core 2 Duo™ T5500 (1.66GHz, 2MB L2 cache, 667MHz FSB)
14.1" XGA (1024x768) (and should i bump it up to the sxga+ with better res?)
100GB, 5400rpm SATA
DVD Recordable Dual Layer Ultrabay Slim Drive
9 Cell Lithium-Ion

*Rest of the parts are the same*

This is mostly a work computer so word working on the airplane and that kind of stuff are my main tasks, no gaming or photo editing on this one. I am mostly concerned about performance and longevity, but aesthetics do play a part. Thanks for the help..
