Good...hopefully they'll understand how they left us high and dry!

My "good" NiMH battery seemed to last about 40 to 45 min. initially. It
started to deteriorate I think and now is only good for 15 min. max. It
started to run out of steam while on a trip to Oregon <I live in PA>. Not
good as there is no place to plug in a PC-1701 on an airplane!

I tell you, I like my UL a lot. I managed to finally get it all set for my
purposes last year after tracking down some elusive accessory items.
I've got the WordPerfect ROM card and use the Net-Tamer software for dialup
internet activity and a stripped down Procomm Plus setup. Between three RAM
cards I've got a pretty nice suite of software.
The screen is a little dim but other than that I find the UL to be a nearly
perfect form of portable. These dang batteries though ruin the whole
experience! I had to resort to buying a used Toshiba 286 for road trips
because of the longer battery life. The Toshiba weighs more than twice as
much as the UL and is much larger overall <sigh>...
