weird. On a model 100, the batteries last for 20 hours or so
of actual powered on usage. I thought the 200 was the same.
There's a little battery on the motherboard, that keeps the RAM
from "forgetting" your stuff whenyou turn the machine off.
And every time you turn it back on, the little battery is re-charged.
So, you can sit and type for 20hours straight if you wanted.
(but there's only 32K of memory, so you'd fill it up!)
Most people who use these machines write notes or whatever, then
either dial up and e-mail their files to home, office, etc.
Or they go to a desktop PC, and us a serial cable to transfer the
files to the bigger computer.
think of it this way. the model 100&200 Tandys are about
equivalent to a PDA. You make notes, schedule, addresses, maybe check
e-mail, and send everything important to the desktop.
