It's a great feature! > >Bob Yellin byellin@together.net I bought my 750C used a few months back and have been testing battery charging schemes such as draining the battery all of the way down to see if, by cycling down a few times, I might be able to increase operating time. Well, the only way to cycle all of the way down is to let the machine go into the suspended mode. What I found was that activating the power switch *or* pressing the escape key after connecting to AC brought me right back to my page. After digging around under the floppy drive I found two batteries. One, the standard cell that keeps configuration alive, and the other, which is a nickle metal hydrate (or whatever) cell. This must be the power source that keeps your application in suspended state. It is a nice safety feature as I often review my mail and other downloaded stuff when I'm on the road or away from AC and if I start to spin the drive frequently I do run through the battery pretty fast.
