I don't know the device that can burn that additional amount of power,
Eric's T42 seems to be using.

WiFi, Ethernet, Bluetooth, IrDA should all not have *that much*
influence (however, they should of course be powered down/unloaded when
not necessary).

Some PCMCIA cards probably, but Eric didn't mention any.


I could only imagine, burning a DVD could make up for the
difference! ;-)
