Noise d
I went through this same process a couple of years ago. Initially it
made no sense that a computer that uses components running on 12, 5, 3.3
and maybe 2.5vdc couldn't run off of a 12 vdc car battery. Ultimately
it turned out that it was the vendors choice of laptop battery that was
the problem.

FWIW...
Circa 1992, I spent some time trying to get a personal portable CD

That number may be considerably higher for several reasons. One is

Microsoft promises standards compliance, fails to deliver. Film at

It is interesting that Office 2007 does not implement the ISO standard
OOXML.

I'll admit to it and just mention here that it came up in
The Ah of a battery may depend quite a lot on the current drawn from it; I'd
look for a datasheet, it probably has an Ah/current graph.
You need a pretty high-power switcher to feed that current at 19.5VDC, in
electronics-land that's a TON of power. Definitely something with an
external power FET

Bringing this thread over here from gnhlug-org...
Someone brought up the idea of powering a laptop from DC sources,
rather than the traditional AC power bricks. This is strictly about
external power, not the laptop's built-in batteries.
Obviously, many laptops come with "travel adapters",

I don't really think it's bad news for the Open Document Format; ODF was

You have a good point there, didn't think of it that way round, but
will M$ actually release their document format completely, they have
never been known to be open with any of their stuff.
