You do trade off a lot of capacity for the in-battery charger and USB plug. A USB battery charger would be a better investment. Could be useful if you're travelling with a laptop (or something else with USB ports) and expect to be away from a power point when the batteries on something run out.

I'm a Trillian devotee but I'm going to give this a look. I've not patched Trill since my subscription expired in early 2004, which kind of underlines how long-in-the-tooth it's become. Their new thing's taking an absolute age.

I use post-its stuck to the edges of my monitor. They're a good compromise because I see them while I'm sitting down to get to work, but I don't have to switch on the computer if I'm not actually going to sit down to work. If it's really important it gets stuck into the centre of the display.
