I can tell you that this thing runs forever on a set of 3 AAA batteries. I'm still on my original set, on my Excalibur, that I bought in November 2000. It also plays a damn good game of chess...quite amazing actually considering the minimalist hardware it runs on. It's easy to write a "killer chess program" that runs on a Gigahertz processor with many megs of RAM. Far more challenging, I think, to write a decent chess playing program on the hardware that Ron uses. Chris Kantack
