[M100] Browsing Portable 100

[Hiraghm]

While browsing through the Portable 100 magazines on the Club100 page, 
in the April 1986 issue I came across the following statement which I 
found *hilarious*:
"For all its wonderful features, the Model 100 has one terrible fault - 
it gobbles batteries like made. I get about *one week* out of a set of 
new alkalines."
(Article: "A do-it-yourself battery pack that doubles as a protective 
cover for your portable", page 17)

Most folks I know feel lucky if they can get an 8-hour day out of their 
phone.

Are there any rechargeable AA batteries that put out 1.5v per battery, 
like disposables?

I'm glad I started searching for an article on lighting your M10x 
screen; I've found many interesting and potentially useful articles, and 
certainly several amusing ones, among the Portable 100 archives.
