Well, sorta waiting. It turns out that the battery life on my Acer Pentium M laptop is so good that I can estimate when it'll run out mentally. "Has it been more than 2 hours since I wandered away from an outlet? Hm, maybe I should return." Now I just have to wait for this to be MFC'd to RELENG_6. :) Mike "Silby" Silbersack
