Hi,

I have just got a new G4 Powerbook (15"), 1GHz with 1GB of RAM. The price
was too good to resist!

Anyway, I'm finding that under sleep I'm losing about 1% per hour of sleep
of battery. This seems much more than I used to lose with my Wallstreet
under 8.6. Is this normal? If I put the machine for sleep over the weekend,
there's barely enough power to wake.

I know you're supposed to shutdown for extended periods of non-use but I
like to have the machine up and running quickly when I pull it out.  Of
course, I could leave it plugged in but then it would not be very secure.

Cheers,

Duncan.
