My netbook battery lasts about 45 minutes if Im lucky ... its first generation acer with original battery. its the principal of the thing that annoys me. These are class 2 power supplies which by HSE own guidelines are just not worth testing. She is wrong if she thinks it only costs £2 to test .... I will challenge here (in front of Adrian Sanders) to find an electrician to do it for that, and besides £2 x 15 members is £30 a year, which could be spent better on training or promotion materials.On Sat, Oct 23, 2010 at 12:50 PM, Simon Waters<simon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:On 23/10/10 12:27, Mark Evans wrote:Vacuum cleaners, floor buffers, electric lawn mowers and hedge trimmers are far more of risk here.Yes, but if we all left our hedge trimmers at home, what fun would a GLUG meeting be? -- The Mailing List for the Devon& Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaqI am a little out of touch with your library dealings Tom. Annoying though it is, can we not just take battery powered laptops? I think most net books last at least 4 hours these days? Once in the building we can just plug our laptops in anyway. (if we need to?) It seems to be be such a great venue in terms of what is available for us. Like I said I am out of touch with the most recent discussions about costs. I seem to remember they came back to you and increased the cost above their published price list. (Which seems completely wrong and the should be held to the "quotation" (price list) advertised.) But hey thats just me. lol. Well done for your continued efforts (head aches) Best wishes roly :-)
Buying a new battery would cost more than the PAT test probably. Tom. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
