 I found the uninstaller and did that. Not much else I can do I guess
because you can't really calibrate the non-removable batteries anymore.
Think I'll just let it run down to the warning. Let it sit for a while
(not in sleep), recharge and see what happens.

Question about Notifications. I've disable everything but Messages but
I notice that when I get an email, those still come thru in my
Notification menu. One would think that they are mutually exclusive of
each other but I guess not, unless I've missed a mail setting
somewhere.
