Apart from the fact that your battery may be so old that you need to replace
it anyway, I can vouch for OSX not being excessive abuser of the battery.
Especially after the extra features brought by Jaguar(10.2).

I have a 466 SE Graphite with 320 MB RAM, and I have more than 3 hours on my
year old battery. I used to get around 4 when the battery was new, and 4,5
hours when I was using OS9, so I have probably lost a bit going to OSX.

But given that I don't have to boot anymore, except for updates, I never
look back after going to OSX a couple of years ago, or whenever it was. It
feels so long time ago :-)

I use the iBook on the train daily, and I couldn't help laughing, as there
was a PC-laptop-user, who came after me and wondered why I had not taken the
electric plug, as that is the first thing PC users are looking for when
opening their Laptop ;-) When I exited the train, I saw a woman with an
iceBook with OSX running and of course no electricity connected either, I
laughed out loud.

Go make the jump, you sure won't regret it!

Cheers,

Kim
