Thanks for any >insight... Which model? What type of battery? If Lithium-Ion, it shouldn't be a problem. If NiMH or NiCD, it could be (unless its a 701, which claims to play by different rules, but who knows?). In the early days of the list when most of us were running ThinkPad 750's, many of us found out the hard way that leaving it plugged in all the time (with the battery in them) cycled the battery a lot--would drop to 90% charge, then re-charge up to 100%, back to 90, etc. It killed off our batteries far too early. No fun at all. ------- Randy Whittle rwhittle@usa.net Marshall Graduate School of Business at USC http://www-scf.usc.edu/~whittle I'm for truth, no matter who tells it.
