Maybe it's running SETI, but I do all the rest on a wireless  
connection with my Rev A LunchTrayDeluxe and still get almost 2 hours  
on my original battery and just over 3 hours on my new battery.  I  
routinely use my battery every night exclusively - when it runs down,  
I know it's time for bed.  I leave it plugged in all day at work, so  
maybe I've got optimal charge/discharge cycles.  Perhaps it is time  
for a new battery?
