Just thought I should add that I'm also using NiMH rechargeables since I had
my 2100, back in November 1997. So far, each of the 3 pack is keeping its
charge. I had to replace one which was physically damaged, but the others
are still performing perfectly. I switch them one after each other, so that
every one gets used. I always completely drain them out, then full recharge.
Before going to bed, I set up my 2100 to my Ethernet network so that InkSpot
will automatically download newsgroup messages very early in the morning.
What I always do is plug the 2100 and then remove the battery pack, so it
doesn't get recharged, and I'm not wasting my rechargeable packs.
