This will allow your hard drive to power down without starting up again to do the 'Auto Save'. 12-Nov-2005 Tim Matthews ID1491 - When going through metal detectors at airports, DO NOT put your laptop on the conveyer just yet. Wait till there is no one in front of you. There have been scams where you put your laptop on the belt, and the person in front of you has a metal object with them causing you and the rest a delay, while his accomplice at the other side waits for your laptop and takes off with it. 1-Jan-2000 Amro Elfiky ID1000 - Whether you are taking a short trip with your laptop or moving with your computer, backup your hard drive before you travel. 12-Nov-2005 Tim Matthews ID1518 - New batteries are generally not charged before they are delivered because the charge is not stable during the shipping process. You should fully charge and discharge a new battery as soon as you receive it. As a rule, a new battery must be fully charged and discharged at least five times in order to realize the maximum run time. A new battery may cause the battery status indicator on your computer to indicate a dead or low battery condition. If this should occur, remove the battery and then re-insert it. If you still don’t get a full indicator, let the battery charge in your computer overnight. Storage: Do not store batteries in extreme temperatures or wet areas. For example, do not leave your cellular phone or laptop in your car during the heat of the summer or the cold of the winter. Optimize Performance: A rapid charger/conditioner can help optimize the performance and extend the life of your NiCD and NiMH rechargeable batteries. A conditioner fully drains the battery’s power prior to recharging, which is vital to avoid memory effect. In-Flight Power: Many airplanes are now equipped with power for passengers to use in-flight. Even more planes will have this feature soon, so if you are in the market for extra batteries for in-flight use, consider instead an air adapter designed for use with the in-flight power systems. 12-Nov-2005 Tim Matthews ID1512 - When planing a business trip, find a hotel that has high-speed Internet connections in the guest and conference rooms. STSN provides travelers with an easy to use connection that lets them tap into their office networks with a broadband 'always on' connection. STSN is in over 400 hotels worldwide (locater at www.STSN.com). The daily charge in the USA of $9.95 is actually a real deal for road warriors when you consider hotel phone costs, company 'toll free' line costs and the added productivity while on the road.
