HI That's Me the victoria part thanks for the intro. The system which i was running was a 190cs running os 7.6 and yes i got great usage over 6 hrs use i think it was closer to 7 then put it to sleep and started it again a few hrs later to get a bit more time from it. The only problem i found with it was after a few weeks use the power book stopped recognizing batteries at all and about a week later it burned out totally and went into glod never to return. I do not know if it was a result of using the batteries or weather it was just something that was already going to happen. Vicki. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
