It seems reasonable that changing the PB display to black and white would increase battery working time, and subjectively I get the impression that it does. But if so why isn't the option included in the Energy Saver Control Panel: it would be handy to set the computer to switch automatically to b & w when on battery, and back to color when plugged in. So two questions: is it true that a color screen drains more juice? And if so is there a better way (such as an Applescript) to switch back and forth than simply remembering to switch back and forth?
