    And your spell check is failing as well by the looks of it :p

    Batteries have a finite lifetime so chances are that it is buggered; . On the charger not working; has the socket gotten a bit loose or is the charger end a bit bent? My Powerbook suffers from the same as well but it keeps working in the long run.

    On the other issue regards booting up, the first things to do would be to repair permissions or to run a hardware check (I assume you have the CD's still, have you?) to see if anything obvious is out of place. Do you get any kernel panics occuring to you from time to time?
