That’s annoying

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

It seems my laptop battery is on it’s last legs. I can only get about 15 minutes of time before it shuts itself down. It comes right back up, with plenty of charge, so I know it’s not a charging issue, it just seems to think it’s not charged and shuts the laptop off.

HP’s website shows the replacement part as not being available any longer, so maybe it’s time to think about getting a new laptop at some point. Until then, I guess I’ll just make sure it’s running on AC power, which isn’t that hard, I don’t tend to use it when I’m being mobile, that’s what the Pocket PC is for. But I’ll be keeping my eye out for any good deals after the holidays I guess. 🙂

Edit the template in IE from now…

  • Christmas week

    Does anyone, in a typical business setting, get any work done during this week? I’m thinking not so much, because while there are only a few more people out of the office than an ordinary week, the number of support questions I get during this week tends to be about zero. That, to me, hints…

  • Out of the Office

    It was nice being away from the office for most of today. The Microsoft seminar was semi-interesting. Some demo’s of new software, which was interesting, but nothing that made me want to run out and buy any of them right this minute. There’s some things in Office XP that are nice, but nothing that would…

    Spent last night putting together a basic installation on Windows on the new laptop hard drive. I guess I should be glad that there’s a Microcenter close by and that they had some notebook hard drives in stock. Or I should be glad it went out while I was still home where I had access…

  • Tip of the Week

    This is actually the topic of my weekly email to the staff at work, something interesting that I discovered yesterday. One of my users was trying to send a mail list to one of our vendors. She had it saved as an Excel file with over 4000 records. The file was over 2MB in size….
