The adapter should last for quite a while. That is, if they are built properly. The battery should last between 2-3 hours, depending on your use and energy conservation strategy. 30 minutes is well below what you should get. I'm not sure about the battery. I thought that Li-Ion battery would almost completely die when their useful life is over... -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] flamage /flay'm*j/ n.: [very common] Flaming verbiage, esp. high-noise, low-signal postings to Usenet or other electronic fora.
