Worked like that in OS 9, but I'm not sure how that goes in OS X Have you run the 900 from full right down to nothing yet? That will set up the power management settings, and the battery estimate will be more accurate after that. The Airport card might make a difference too... There may also be a difference in the batteries, try switching them over, and see what happens. Just some thoughts, Wiebe. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
