- I just got a PB170. I wonder if the battery is ok on it! How long does
- a fully charged battery last under different power conservation settings?
-
- BTW, in system 7.1 the Portable CDEV (control panel) has been replaced by
- Powerbook CDEV. In the Portable control panel you can specify the time before
- the system or disk goes to sleep; nut, in the Powerbook control panel you can
- only select a position from the 'Maximum Performance' position to the
- 'Maximum Conservation position'. I think the original method was better because
- it was clearer as to what the computer is doing.

- Thanks a lot.
