...or corroded or cables themselves corroded? (You don't have one of those auto part store add-on terminals do you? It's impossible to keep them from corroding under the bolt-on clamp plate.) If after jumping the car RUNS fine with bright headlights etc. and say the ability to run your heater blower and wipers without stalling the engine, it's unlikely to be your alternator. Prob'ly not the battery, as you say it's fine, and it would have to be horrid indeed to do NOTHING when you turn the key.
'Course there is a chance that despite your high opinion of it it has gone past usable, especially if totally discharged several times and not of very good quality or very new to begin with.
