I run Tiger on a Sony SL10. In testing (it uses 2 AAA's) with screen light off
but the processor running non-stop the NiMH 750mAh batteries gave 6 hours 20
minutes before it warned of data loss. I regard battery life as important as
even on a slow machine I, and I think most of us, would find it more than a
challenge. There are plenty of SL10's on ebay.
