I found it fine for use while walking, traveling on NY subways, etc, but not for jogging or climbing stairs -- it seems to be sensitive to irregular motion, especially when the batteries are getting weak. BTW, alkaline batteries seem to last about 4 to 5 hours; rechargeables (ni-cad) about 2. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim Block {cca, ihnp4!inmet, mit-eddie, wjh12, datacube} !mirror!prism!jib Mirror Systems, Inc. 2067 Massachusetts Ave. (617) 661-0777 Cambridge, MA 02140
