- Well, I would have posted this to comp.sys.mac.powerbook, but it seems
- a lot of folks think that questions like mine might be useful to everyone
- who uses a Mac, so I hope they enjoy reading this!
-
- When my Powerbook 100 has the AC adapter plugged in, the battery icon
- does not have a jaggy lightning bolt through it; from reading the manuals,
- the lightning bolt is supposed to indicate that power is from an external
- source, and not draining the battery. Can anyone shed light on this?
-
- Thanks loads, and to all you folks who don't want to see a powerbook newsgroup,
- may I suggest that you buy a powerbook, use it for awhile, and then re-evaluate
- your stance.
