Hi Folks, I have been playing with the libby re the 'wireless' lan stuff and found it's quite good fun. Switch on libby, browse the web, walk out to the garden, carry on browsing .. be on ICQ whilst working in the garage or next door etc etc ;-) Anyway, the wireless thing highlighted the fact the my battery only gave about 40 mins (is that normal) and how much I needed the Hi-Cap one. I say an auction on eBay and a (new) Hi-Cap went for £45. (On DABS the same battery is £39 + Vat ?) I e-mailed the seller asking if they had another of the same and if so I'd pay £35 inc carriage. They replied, said OK .. the battery arrived yesterday and seems to be working ok.;-) In the meantime the conversation continued between the vendor of another (new, boxed) Hi-Cap I'd won on eBay (from California ..$35) and the ongoing insistence by them that the USPS won't ship Lithium batteries internationally (they site them as 'corrosive chemicals' or summat). I managed to get a reply from a guy at NASA and his mate at the JPL (nothing like going to the top!) that said a modern Lithium-Ion battery contained no (or little) 'Lithium Metal' and therefore should not be a problem? Anyway, I have had a good friend pop into a local USPS office and they confirmed shipping a suitably packed, modern Li-Ion battery is no problem? So he's collected it from the 'vendor' for me and is sticking it in the post asap.;-) So, if it turns up it will be like the old saying we have in the UK re busses ... "Nothing for ages then three turn up at once"! All the best .. T i m p.s. I think my Libby is 'possessed' .. I install W95OSR2 and my GPS prog runs fine. One day it wont run the GPS Prog? I uninstall / re-install, nothing. I purge and re-install 95 and the GPS prog, nothing. I install 98 .. GPS prog runs ok .. ? I get .mpg's running ok .... then one day ... nothing? It hibernates ... then won't hibernate ... oooerr! ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
