I also have had no problems at all running Prime95 over Win95 on
two laptops, a Toshiba Satellite 200 CDT and a Siemens-Nixdorf
Scenic Mobile 300. (Both Intel Pentium P5/100 MHz).
It probably does no long-term good for any battery to be on charge
continuously - certainly NiCd and, to a lesser extent, NiMH types
will apparently have a low charge if they have been on trickle
charge for ages - you need to *use* the batteries to keep them up
to scratch - but nevertheless they still have a finite life.
If you are running Prime95 on a laptop with external power for long
periods, it is probably wise to remove the battery. Especially if the
laptop has an external power adapter.

Yup, I'd say so.
