Heh... I used to get around 2 weeks per charge (fricken great!) but I'm
thinking LAVA has something to do with it. I probaly use the newt for a few
hours each day, and quite a bit during the weekends. Lava leaves the
backlight on for a few mins so i'll probably tweak that a little bit, and
maybe even try building a better battery. I've got a lot of the NiMH
batterys from Apple, Woo. It's my biggest fear, not having NiMH batteries
for the newton, i've had them since day one of my first 2100.
