True but I can't help panicking whenever the power-bar looks kind-of low-ish
and I tend to top it up every 24hrs whether it needs it or not.
Once I was cought out with a lp interruption in the middle of sending a fax
of a highly edited (& long!) Works document and working over notes on the
way from a conference (long train journey) left me on low battery and not
that able to get additional work done on the file but the file survived OK
when I uploaded it to the PPC when I got home!
