Yup
My iBook 800 gets spurious "low battery" messages when I'm not plugged into AC power, even when the battery is above 75%. Even worse, it just SHUTS DOWN with no warning, not long after this. Once, it did that in the middle of formatting a FW HD, which scared the s--- out of me. Luckily, the drive was not damaged.
Lately, I'm seeing a worse problem where the whole machine freezes when I switch locations... and sometimes the AirPort card stops being recognized until I reboot once or twice.
Hey, Apple, if I wanted problems like this I would've bought a Windoze machine! Let's get 10.2.5 out and fix this s***, mmmkay?
