use of inverter

[Kynan Shook]

I've shared a 400 W inverter with my brother a few times on long car 
trips; me with either a 15" 500 MHz Ti or a 17" 1 GHz Al; he has a 
PowerBook G3.  My mom's Dell laptop would kill the inverter, though.  
;-)

You probably want to get something that's rated well over what you plan 
to use, though; your PowerBook will draw up to 65 W, maybe slightly 
more even.  If you want to use anything else, add its wattage, and then 
bump it up some.  If you only want your PowerBook, a 100W inverter 
should handle it just fine.  YMMV
