88% charge, more than 4 hours, this is closer to reality but still a bit optimistic. Notice that WLAN is connected (and has excellent reception), BlueTooth is not. What you can't see is that backlight is at about 50%. It's in the middle of the night and you actually don't need more backlight then. :-)

What else is in the toolbar? From left to right: Launchbar, BlueTooth, iChat AV, WLAN, speaker volume, TypeIt4Me, battery, day of week, time.

One other goodie for the tool bar worth considering is DesktopCalendar (freeware) by Takashi T. Hamada at http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12095

Actually, although it does add the date and calendar week to the tool bar, the main function is to add a month-at-a-time calendar to the desktop. You can page backwards/forewards but not add calendar entries. I find it useful even though iCal is only a click away in the Dock.

And I (as a non-MACie, not yet) assume between WLAN and TypeIt4Me, that's the volume control ;-)

John, interesting. Have it installed for now but not yet registered as a login item.

Ragnar, thanks, fixed. And "MACies" are "MacHeads".
