My 130 got phenomenal battery life out of Duracells, in contrast to all
other battery brands. I seem to recall reading on this list once, that Apple
planned for Duracells to be used with the Newton, and somehow optimized it
for them. Is this true, and how could they do it? (I know it seemed that I
could go days longer than with Enegerizer batteries--or at least it seemed
to be this way). Of course, I always prefer rechargeable batteries when I
can, but I went through a period when I couldn't find them...
