Ever tried
to find the on switch in pitch dark? I love my wife's village
in the
middle of nowhere, as there is no light whatsoever to veil the
stars.
Are we talking about running on replaceable batteries, or about solar
power recharging the batteries? Does anybody have any idea whether
solar-powered computer or ebook batteries are on the horizon? I also
must have missed something. Is someone saying that the light
from the monitor could somehow power the entire computer? That
sounds like perpetual motion machines to me, and so far nobody
has had any luck inventing one.
