Haven't noticed my 2Mb RAMdisk reducing the battery life very much; still
up around 2.5-3hr, maybe because I don't use the disk as much anymore.
        You cannot switch batteries on the fly (you must power down first,
or you will lose your hardRAM contents) but 10-15 seconds is about right.
        Big problem with the 1000XE is the travel backup requiring a
disk somehow (LAPlink to a desktop, or carry around the 3.5" add-on); if
you never travel for more than a few days....

  wcalvin@u.washington.edu         Favorite books on brains and evolution
  (probably because I wrote them myself):  _The Cerebral Symphony_
  (Bantam 1989); _The River that Flows Uphill_ (Sierra Club Books 1987).
