    I recently got burned for $70 on a defective extended battery, so I'm trying to warn other potential customers.

    The short version is don't buy the extended eee battery (or anything for that matter) from DealExtreme.com

    The long version is here: scottsoapbox.com/2008/11/17/eee-pc-super-battery/

    After ordering something from DealExtreme.com and paying by PayPal my PayPal account was hacked by someone that changed the language to Chinese and immediately charged 3 months of some Chinese RPG game to my account. Coincidence? I kind of doubt it.
