I see why Li batteries almost have to be the future. Considering that I
don't do my work much differently than in the 90's I just fail to see
any net progress for mankind here.
You mean you don't see a net progress for yourself. Many actually do
work differently than in the 90's, demanding more from their laptops.
You can't blame the industry they quit making 640x480 screen laptops
with external floppy drive. Power is not the most important issue
for most laptop users. In a car you have your cigarettelighter, and
at a customer you plug in your power cord, if it is going to take a
while.
BTW, I remember a colleage who didn't carry a laptop around in those
days, but an entire PC - with a drawer handle screwed on top. He
borrowed the CRT at the customer's place. His priority was a good
tool at the workfloor and had little interest in playing with a
laptop during a 2 hour flight.
