Peter:
You can use the external "battery booster" that holds 8 AA's. Works with
any Newton or eMate. Very hard to find, but you might be in luck: CPUsed in
Toronto appears to still have one or two available. Go to <www.cpused.com>
then to their "Odds and Ends" page; it's listed near the bottom.
You have to take out the internal rechargeable pack to use one of these
though; otherwise it tries to charge it, with bad results on both ends.
(Kinda cold for the cottage lately, isn't it?)
