Re: [Thinkpad] Battery Use

Your right, I did intend to send this to the list and I will do so.
"Todays Business times" is responsible for this. If corp America was
unwilling to be raped for laptop technology IBM and others would not
pare there customers.

Why would IBM or any body give you top quality and run time for a fair
price when there are a large number of business's out there willing to
pay to much for to little.

It is the same way with cars, a new car cost more that I paid for my
home 3 years ago. There is NO car in the world that is worth more that a
home!!! The car loses 4 to 10 grand as soon as you sign the papers and
goes down from there.

A home gains value as long as you own it. How is a car that is a money
pit worth more that a home on 1/3 acer? cause there are enuff idiots out
there that are willing and eager to be raped that the price stays up.

As long as there are idiots that are willing to pay to much for to
little the price will stay up and the value will stay down.

s for laptop run time, if you could pay 1/2 and get more run time, you
could slip an extra battery in your bag, have much more run time at less
price and IBM battery prices will crash.

But what do I know?
