You're starting to scare me [emoji33]

Looks like the guy didn't really get the idea of chipmunk voice

Fortunately the battery "unbulges" when I shut off the computer, so I think it'll be fine until the spare one arrives. It's on its way already

I didn't know that VPI had a direct drive turntable in their range. Interesting. Vinyl sounds awesome, but it's kind of a PITA, and expensive. Cartridge prices have gone absolutely crazy.

Thank you very much for the advice, guys, you're the best I haven't checked directly with Apple, but I read somewhere that their cost for replacing a battery is around 300 euros, although they take care of the old one for recycling. I think I'm going to order it from iFixit since they have a store in Europe. I also like their tools sets, I'm probably getting one of those too. This is the HC yet

I have this mid 2010 MBP which I upgraded with more RAM, a SSD and a HDD replacing the optical drive. It works great and handles most of my computer needs. A few weeks ago it started to display a warning on the battery icon, saying the battery needs "repair". I've noticed that the trackpad is going increasingly harder to push, so I did some research and it seems that a bulky battery may produce that effect on the trackpad. I guess I should replace the battery because after 5 years I don't think the battery could be repaired by Apple. There are budget batteries in Amazon at about 60 euros, but they don't receive good reviews, some for short power delivery times after a few charging cycles, others for being too thick for the computer. Then at iFixit they have what they say is an OEM Apple battery at almost 100 euros. I have a couple of questions: Do you guys have any experience with iFixit products, are they reliable and worth the price plus? I've opened my laptop a few times, it clearly says "don't mess with the battery!!!" (or the like) Would I lose some information or damage the computer in any way by replacing the battery with a new one?

What analogue rig would you be purchasing?

I love ragtime.

RIP Maureen. She was one of my favourite actresses when I was a kid. So sweet and beautiful. Condolences CJ. Good teachers are scarce, ones leaving good memories and to whom being thankful, a true rarity. RIP Mr Sundaram.

Best season's race so far [emoji33]

Etymotic or Comply plugs, no need to spend of the phone part.

If you don't feel much like having a cold shower, wait until Wednesday, you're not killing the wife with the stinky fumes

Get well soon, Jacbo. By the symptoms I'd say it's been some viral infection, as Doug suggested.

Sorry for your losing a friend, Wayne. RIP Joe.
