This little hack was sent in by [andrew], he built it specifically for the long flight from Australia to the US. The idea is simple, but I wouldn't have considered it given the cost of decent D Cells these days. H put together a 20 D-cell p0wer pack, a regulator to keep it at 24v, and an eighth inch plug External laptop battery (http://www.sales-battery.com/External_laptop_battery.html) to power up his old ib00k.
Update: I goofed and left out [andrew]'s name.
