Nope. The battery level was at ~53% with Duracell Ultras, but the
Newton wouldn't start up when I first brought it inside. After it
had warmed to just under room temperature, it started, but came up
with the "Welcome to Newton!" step-through stuff. It said that the
machine was reset due to dead batteries.
