LOL...I'll be set, as my laptop is always plugged in with the EXTRA LONG battery charging...I can usually go about 12 hours on my laptop...it's an old 333Mhz thinkpad that I wouldn'tdream of running any newer version of Flight sim on, but it works great for school, homework, and the occassional report to the electric company when we lose power :-)

The recent problems in the US & Canada make you realise just how much we rely on electricity these days. Everyone thought British inventor Trevor Baylis quite mad when he first proposed marketing a clockwork radio.
This was such a success he's now working on clockwork powered computers. http://www.britishcouncil.org/science/science/personalities/text/ukperson/baylis.htm

Same reason you need to call the phone company to hook your phoneline up?

Or how about going to an ISP's website to get internet access ??? ::) ;D
