Rocky,

First, I am honored by your response. It's the first one in months.

I agree with all you said. (sob)

My point is batteries are not standing still. Li is expensive now, but when the next technology comes online, prices will drop. Perhaps a better power source right now would be the rechargable batteries I use for my wireless mice - they are called Renewal, and are alkaline. The cost is twice regular batteries but they can be recharged about 30 times.

As to the format issue you mentioned, the worst case would be if both PC and MAC were in the same position vis-a-vis n-hand as they are to each other, that is, they both need adaptor software to get the data off the disk.

Personally, I do not hold out much hope for the caddy solution. I would be satisfied with a combo n-hand/floppy/PCMCIA peripheral for PCs. Just add n-hand to the floppy/PCMCIA PC add-on devices already available at Fry's. If there is no room, jetison one or the other. The the customer decide what his needs and budget are.
