Charge Timer A Q + D Battery Useage Timer for the PowerBook desktop, System 7.0+ Why ? It shows the number of minutes since your PowerBooks battery was recharged, so that you can test the battery capacity of your PowerBook. ( 'Now' is the accumulated time in this session and includes 'Last' which is the carry over from the last session ). • or the amount of time that you use your Mac in an given period. • For System 7.0+ (why would you use it with an older version of the system ?). To use Charge Timer: • Drag the file Charge Timer into your Start-up Folder in the System Folder, or • You may double click and launch it at any time. • The length of each session is accumulated and displayed in the window below the trash. • At present you must tell Charge Timer that you are recharging your battery because I'm unable to tell Charge Timer that this is happening through the programme itself. This will determine if the current 'useage' is added to the next 'display', after a Restart. • If you are charging your PowerBook then take advantage of the command-R short-cut to tell Charge_Timer not to record the current session length, and to Quit. Saves memory and CPU time. Charge Timer is Shareware. Charge Timer is © 1992 Paul B Jones, All Rights Reserved.
