Just wanted to post that I learned something today. I seldom use my laptop with the battery, but today I figured I'd run the battery down over several hour. It was going well for about an hour, surfing the net, reading mail and playing gtali. I decided to go over to facebook and work on my farm and in a matter of a few minutes I went from 1.5 hours of charge left to plug in now or you will loose everything. Seem Flash is power hungry. Has anyone seen this before? I know one fix is to avoid websites that are flash hungry.
