How many hours a day would you say your Newton is on for? (ie could
you rephrase 2-3 weeks in terms of a certain number of hours?)

Does anyone know the nominal power drain of the bare 2100? I couldn't
find it on apple spec sheets...

Robert.

p.s. Energizer 2300 mAh batteries are $15 a four-pack e.g. here:

how do you charge yours?
