	Boy are you wrong!!! (there consider yourself corrected)

	One of the things that Apple is proudest of, other than the screen
technology, is the power management/battery usage of the new portable. The
battery (lead-acid) will last 6-12 hours (depending on what you are doing with
it) and also warns you as it starts getting low.  There is also a power cable
which is for use when using the portable at the office, and/or for recharging
the battery.
	It was really interesting to see the MacPortables at the Burbank
Airport yesterday on the way out of the rollout as the Apple Employees just op
opened the cases, hit a key and showed the security people the startup process
while this other guy came buy with his PC portable and had to go find an
electric outlet, plug it in, etc....
