; y& q# w9 V- I& ~- H# w; RI just want to put out a post about Battery test for our members' PDA for reference to new buyers and everyone.

  @% B% L, U  F9 wI guess it is very difficult to 'test' battery life of each machine since everyone's light setting, hardware are all different.  And I hereby suggest using Battery Graph v1.02(or newer) as a common ground.
