This seems a suitable point to acknowledge your stepping aside from the machine I'm using, which with the addition of a suitable graphics card and couple of HDDs is providing sterling service still.

HP do an add on battery pack and I really like the design of it, it isn't your usual "fat sausage" that clips along the back, it's a thin plate the same size as the laptop which clips onto the bottom. -- frag MicroPlanet Gravity Newsreader V3.0 http://mpgravity.sourceforge.net/ |
