BTW, A Playstation uses over 200 watts while you play your game, so one of these is completely out of the question.
I have a Tandy T100 it lasts for what seems like forever on a pair of AA batteries, you can even kludge a couple of text based games on it with a little effort. Plus more importantly you can type and send emails on less than 1 watt of green/blue screen power.

If people would do things that were actually important with their PC systems like posting to this message board they could get by with antiques, heck I have posted here using a 5Mhz IBM 5150 8088 w/640k just because I can It did take a while though to get the message through.
