Rapid rundown of the Portfolio's batteries can be caused by setting the
display refresh speed to Fast.  The effect of that is to turn the machine
on once per second, rather than once every two minutes, when you think
it is sitting there in your briefcase|pocket|drawer turned off.  You can
see the screen flash briefly every time it does this.
