If you want an OS X version of some voltage software, look for X-Charge. It will show you the voltage and amperage and it also has a cool battery charge graphic that it keeps in the dock (just like the one in OS X 10.0). I will also tell you how long you've been running on the battery and it keeps track of the battery's charge over time on a graph. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
