 Just to mention that, those of use who have computers that run on AA batteries
like the Portfolio, can recharge the NiCads with a solar cell recharger (I've
seen them at REI co-op). It takes a long time to charge them (a day or two)
but it's just the ticket if you are backpacking computer junkie (I wonder
how big a segment of the market that is for the Tandy 100, Poquet and 
Portfolio?).
