When I got my new iBook, I was amazed to see that the battery when fully charged appeared to have about six hours of maximum capacity. I actually bought a second battery, assuming that it would have the crappy two-hours-if-you-re-lucky-and-don’t-move-the-mouse-very-often like most laptops.

It’s a big busy day work today, getting out our interactive holiday greeting today (download link to follow, but you can see some of the past ones here).

I was rushing around so much to get in this morning, I left my laptop power cable at home.

No time to run back to get it, too much to do.

Dimming the backlight, adjusting the Energy Saver settings, wondering how much I can get out of her. It’s kind of like in science fiction movies when the ship lose spower and they shut down all non-essential functions.

Four hours and twenty-two minutes before life support fails…
