Hmm, good point. It would be nice to keep the VFD but as GoCubs Greg and wikipedia mentions, a high-intensity OLED might be in order. The data did originally come from Duracell - I'm sure they wanted to be as optimistic as scientifically possible. ;-) Also wireless cards suck a lot of power as well - otherwise my laptop wouldn't have so many darn settings to keep it at low power or powered down entirely. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27378 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
