Meanwhile, "Battery Recondition 1.5" is installed by the OS 8.1 CD into some other 'Books. From the 1996 readme: "Battery Recondition, an application program to extend the life of your battery. This application works on the PowerBook Duo 210, 230, 250, 270, 280, and 2300 series computers, as well as PowerBook 190 and 5300 series computers." I had occasion to install 8.1 into a couple of 190's the other day and exported the "Portables" folder. It's a 21K file and I will email it to whoever wants it--within reason.
