Thank you for the explanation. My chemistry combined with electrical
science is a bit rusty, haven't done anything like that since I'm out
of school ;)
>boy oh boy does that thing last forever.
Forever in this case is about 20 hours of continuous use, if being
switched on would mean 'use'. I put them into the Newton at about 8
at night, then played around with it a bit, set up e-mail and
connected a few times using an external GV modem and then just left
the Newton on, preventing it from sleeping. At about 4 PM the
following day it decided to switch off after I got a message (which I
didn't see at the time) that I should change batteries. Pretty good
mileage, if you ask me.
So long, everybody!
