IN-FLIGHT PLUG-IN...Are you frustrated by trying to make a two-hour laptop battery last through an eight-hour plane trip? After years of discussions, airlines and laptop makers have finally agreed on a method to make DC power available at passenger seats. The new service will appear initially on first- and business-class seats on intercontinental flights but will gradually spread. To take advantage of it, though, you'll need a special power adapter. The PowerXtender from Xtend Micro Products (800 232-9836) is the first to market. The PowerXtender, around $100, comes in models for most popular laptops. It also includes a lighter plug so it can double as a car adapter.
