Re: Laptop Battery

[Don <dr2@xxxxxxxx>]

Jon,

I got an idea from Dennis Lovelady...he uses an APC battery that's flat and 
just fits nicely under the laptop...I got one a few weeks ago, slaped some 
velcro on it and I've not had to worry about a battery going dead for a 
while...  it's a UPD80 universal notebook battery from APC...really cool stuff!
