   How long does that thing run on battery?

   I find that 3rd-party batteries for vintage laptops don't last very long.  I   
   tried one for a Thinkpad T40 many years ago, and the darn thing only ran 2 hrs   
   max.  But when I found a supplier of genuine IBM batteries, the replacement ran   
   4.5 hrs.  Same size (cells).  Big difference.
