And What Does It Mean When

My personal laptop, which has been plugged in while at the hotel to keep battery charge up, just shut itself off. Twice. Hopefully this is more a sign that the battery (six years old) is actually loosing it's ability to hold a charge rather than something more ... dire. Since I didn't bring the power source with me to training classes, it shall need to wait until after today's sessions to trouble-shoot.

Meanwhile, at least I did get to deal with a couple e-mails that needed quick attention. And lunch is good. This is all to the plus.

We now return you to your Regularly Scheduled Life.

*heh* The whole thing is six years old. Battery & laptop.

And, actually, it's only been the past 12 months that I noticed any problems with the battery. So that's pretty good, if they're only supposed to last a year - two. I'd actually purchased two batteries with the computer (six years ago). One was dropped a couple years back, and the guides by the connection leads were broken, and that battery would no longer make a connection.

I think I can get replacement batteries, but frankly, as old as this laptop is I think I'd rather replace the laptop. I've been figuring on this happening sometime in the next six months.
