Thank you, sir. I agree that it's more convenient than setting it up on your computer, but I think it's a little less convenient than simply and quickly pressing the shifter for a second or two to get a general gauge of the battery life. It would definitely scratch a psychological itch for me to know the exact number, but I really don't need to know. Even the program read-out sounds like it'll be more than I actually need.
Anyway, thanks again for your help and for answering both questions. I appreciate it.
