They are handy and it is why I won't give mine up. Also you can plug in
a newton AC adapter and power it that way. :) But not 9v but 2 AA's and
you can't use rechargables, at least you wont' get much usage time on it
last time I tried it. They may be slow but they are great and
especially if you are getting a 130 online as it only has one card slot. ;)
