Yeah, but that'll "teach the batteries bad tricks" -- my understanding of how rechargable batteries work is that you're not supposed to leave them plugged in for great lengths of time, as they will hold shorter and shorter charges. Indeed, I recently had to special order a replacement battery for my CD player because I always leave it plugged in and it absolutely wouldn't take any charge at all after a while... -- Dave Taylor Intuitive Systems Mountain View, California taylor@limbo.intuitive.com or {uunet!}{decwrl,apple}!limbo!taylor
