I haven't > tested it with MacOS yet... I generally get about 3 hours out of each battery for my Pismo (more if I turn off firewire, remove cd-rom, dim backlight, etc), so it's not a Linux issue. If you haven't been keeping the battery charged for long periods of time, that might have lowered it's energy storage capabilities, though. Unfortunately, finding new batteries for a Pismo is tough (Apple hasn't sold them for months). -- Brian Hicks <http://eight.dhs.org> <hick0142@umn.edu> <PGP:0xADDD1F16> 'At Zango Transportation Concepts, our motto is "Caveat Emptor" which means "We hope you like it!"' -- Lambda Expressway
