- It's probably because SuperClock was designed for the batteries in the PB
- 100 through the PB 180, and not the Duos. The duos use a different battery
- technology, and I would bet that SuperClock does not know about it.
- Best thing to do is turn the battery indicator in SuperClock off, and put
- an alias of the Apple Battery DA in your Startup Items folder, so it is on
- the desktop all of the time.
