   Its amazing that since I posted the question the number of varied
responses that I got, and I thought it kind of funny.

    First off, I have been told that it takes d-cells, and I also
have been told it takes c-cells....with c-cells getting the largest
number of votes  :)

    I have been told that rechargeble batteries could be used and also
told that they should not be used.  I have been told that the screen is
hard to read even in bright light, and that it is good as long as there
is bright light.  I have been told batteries usually last 2 hours.. 6 hours
and 10 hours.

   I agree that some things could be biased by a person, however, some of
these things should have been straight forward facts.  And all of these
responses have come from people who say they own or have owned one.

    I guess what I would like to know is there that much discrepency
between the compuuters, or is it just net variety day here.

     Thanks in advance,
