[PLUG] Laptop battery time remaining with acpi, not apm

[Rich Shepard]

  On my older portable running apm, I could 'cat /proc/apm' to see the
operating time remaining on the battery. On the new laptop, when I use 'less
/proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info' I see milliwatt hours, not hours and minutes.

  Is there a way to find the remaining time -- in hours:minutes -- from
acpi?

TIA,

Rich
