hi all

generally i like the computer...
nice compact design,very strong Blitz strength,etc,etc
however my one biggest complaint is the silly construction of the battery door.
why on Earth would you have a Phillip screw battery door ,when battery life is
less then abysmal??
i dont even mind that at best i can only manage 10 hours with 3 AAA batteries..
with the backlight option on,your looking at perhaps 5-6 hours..tops
but if Novag(Perfect Technologies)knows going in, that battery life is
absurd,why make the consumer need a phillips screwdriver to merely replace the
batteries??
why not a simple snap and slide battery door?

i have screwed and unscrewed the battery door so often now that the dang screw
hole is now stripped and i am walking around with a $225 chess computer with
scotch tape holding together the dang battery door

Perplexed Regards
Steve
