<< Yes but the PX-8 is now 13 years old and the nicads in it could sustain
 continous computing for 12-16 hours. I've tried one for logging data and
 it ran for two weeks at 1-2 minutes per hour without trouble. The time
 and autostart/shutdown was built in, no extras needed. Most laptops would
 be hard pressed to run the total uptime without killing the battery.

What exactly is a PX-8? BTW, I have a Mac Portable, which I got because it
wasn't working. After connecting the battery directly to the AC power for a
few seconds, it worked. The battery is dead now, though. I use another AC
adapter for the battery, as well as the normal one. That thing eats power! Why
your battery is alive and mine died, god only knows.
