    Very interesting. I’ve been using Battery status, but now I’ll give it a try. Thanks

  2. Another similar battery manager program was written in .NET, which can be unappetizing for some, since it has a giant bloaty runtime that must be installed, bad for small-capacity devices like netbooks. I’ll check this out and see if it fits in my needs.
