Amazing Battery Power – I Have More Than Enough

For some reason the other day I hovered my mouse over the battery meter in my taskbar and noticed the little power bubble pop-up and show the information shown above.
Do you see that?
101% battery power remaining. 101%!
That’s nice to know isn’t it? The only problem is I know better. If you’ve ever seen me at a conference you know I’m now the guy carrying around the power strip so I can hopefully plug-in anywhere I go (or sit to be more exact). The reason is that my battery gives me about 15 minutes of power tops.
That fact was only made that much more known recently as I’m sitting in a client’s office trying to take notes on my laptop. There’s no plugs on any walls. No plugs! Who makes a room today without putting a stupid outlet on at least one wall. One on each wall would be even better.
Anyway, for that meeting I had to put my laptop in standby between each little note I typed. That gave me about 45 minutes of time to enjoy that wild and crazy little thing called electricity!
Man I love the idea of electrons flowing back and forth through wires keeping me connected.
