Yeah, Jeremy, I was wondering - since I usually leave my Pismo hooked up
to the AC adapter and plugged in when I'm home (and likely will until I
can get an 802.11g setup and DSL), how does the time spent up and running
on AC count for battery cycles? :-)
Surely there is some advanced EE graduate who wrote about this for their
thesis and can answer this for us, right?? ;-)

engineers striving to build bigger and better
idiot-proof programs, and the universe, trying
to produce bigger and better idiots. So far,
the universe is winning.
