Thanks for your reply, and thanks to everyone else who replied (I
won't post individual thank-yous for fear of cluttering the list!).
It seems the answer is unanimous: get a second battery. I could
see getting both a second battery _and_ the power adapter, but the
battery does seem to provide more flexibility. (I understand the
power adapters are typically labelled airplane/automobile
adapters).
BTW, as far as I know, Air Canada has not yet added power adapters
to their fleet. Canadian has, which is the airline I flew on
Sunday. I once saw either a United or AA floorplan that showed
they had done both the front cabin _and_ every fifth row in
economy. Still no guarantee of getting one, but I suspect those
rows are saved for gold-members/high-payers as much as possible.
(Would screw up their "blocking the middle seat when gold member in
aisle or window", though).
SO, where do I get a second TP600 battery between now and Friday
evening? I'm in Long Beach CA and don't have lots of free time.
But I could probably get out to a computer store if I had to.
Bill, you got one in stock?
Thanks again!
