I have read for the past couple of weeks how everyone gets so much time out of the battery on the NC10. I am using mine on battery this evening for the first time and trying to see how much I can use it before having to recharge. I would say I will have no more than 3 and a half hours. Now what has everyone done to make the battery life longer? Eleanor -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter. We are a community of 5.8 million users fighting spam.
