        They want this one back. Same with the battery.

        I know with my 750C 5 years ago, they sent me a new battery and never
asked for the old one back (not that a dead battery did me any good anyway).

        Thanks Bill, but I think I'll manage (besides, the first of 2
presentations is tonight and at best, if you overnighted something, I'd get
it tomorrow).

        I'm thinking I might buy a spare AC adapter anyway. Saw what appeared to
be a really neat thin & light one on PORT's web page (when we had the
discussion on computer cases). Anyone have any experience with it?
