Ahhh, and owner! Steve, did you ever try to use this thing
outdoors in outdoor ambient light? Could you see the screen worth a darn?
My 750C is absolutely worthless outside, and that's something I'd like to
use a notebook machine for.

Have you actually *timed* it though? My current 750C batt. guage
used to claim 3:30 everytime, but I never got any more than 2:30 (even less
now that the battery is a bit used up--but that guage still starts off at
3:30...)
I'd like to know what the *realistic* time is under normal use
(though with all the battery-save features turned on). That doesn't have
to include floppy usage either. Can you give me your experience?

How big/heavy is it?
