Tech Tip of the Week—Laptop Battery Conditioning & Maintenance If you always work while connected to AC power, the battery doesn’t discharge; its electrons stagnate, and the battery’s life span is reduced. Make a habit of working on battery power at least once a month. It is a good idea to occasionally drain the battery all the way, then fully charge it before using battery power again. Putting your iBook or Powerbook to sleep for transport is another way to reduce battery life. It is better to shut down the laptop when it will not be used for several hours. If you do use your laptop on battery power a lot, you may want to consider purchasing a spare battery. One thing to remember though, batteries like to be used, not tucked away for months at a time. They will develop a diminished capacity if they are just sitting in your bag. Rotate your spare battery with your original one on a regular basis. Features and activities you should be aware of that drain a battery faster: Bright screen (use the brightness controls to dim the backlight) Hard drive access CD/DVD drive access (remove CD’s and DVD’s when you are not using them, and preferably use them only on AC power) Peripherals (printer, digital camera, external drive, etc. Disconnect when not using.) Wireless network access (Turn off when not in use. Click on the Airport icon, or right click on the wireless icon on a PC to turn off or disable.) Use Power Management Windows 2000/XP: Right click on Desktop and select “Properties” from the menu. Select Screensaver tab. Click on “Power” button on the bottom right of the window. Choose among the following Power Schemes: Home/Office Desk, Portable/Laptop, Presentation, Always On, Minimal Power Management, and Max Battery. Each Power Scheme will display the length of idle time before your monitor and hard disks will be shut down, and the system will go into Standby or Hibernation modes. Mac OSX: Click on the Blue Apple menu icon and select “System Preferences”. Select “Energy Saver” Choose from Normal, Better Battery Life or Better Performance options. (To see what each of these options will do, click on “Show Details”.) Calibrate the Battery Most manufacturers recommend that you calibrate your battery every few months. This involves draining the battery until the laptop goes to sleep, then recharging it to 100%. For detailed instructions, see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86284 For additional details: For a summary of ways to reduce battery drain, especially in Windows laptops see: http://h20271.www2.hp.com/SMB-AP/cache/122140-0-0-131-121.html For a PC laptop, also see the article, "Getting More Laptop Battery Life - "Good to the Last Drop" here http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=2218 “Laptop Battery Smarts” article from Mac World: http://www.macworld.com/2004/10/secrets/novmobilemac/index.php?pf=1 Read the Apple article, "Tips for maximizing your PowerBook and iBook battery charge." http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=5066

CLUB GO loves you!

Go is a great game. I mean you have no idea how awesome it is. It has a mysterious, indescribable allure, and a fresh, clean scent! It is played on a wooden board with black and white stones that are lovely to look at and pleasing to the touch. The game's rules are simple, but the possibilities of play are endless!

I know you're curious. I can tell you're intrigued! This saturday is your chance to find out more. Come to our meeting and enjoy free tea and good company as you learn to play this ancient game of strategy.

CLUB GO meets in FPH 104 every Saturday from 3-5pm. If it's a beautiful day, we'll probably be outside in front of FPH. Come to play, come to learn, or just hang out!
