Lithium-ion BatteriesHere is advice on charging your Lithium-ion Battery from Microsoft. "If you frequently drain and then recharge a lithium-ion battery, it can quickly lose its ability to hold a charge. The practice of completely draining and then fully charging a battery is advice that applied to nickel cadmium (NiCd) batteries and, to a lesser extent, nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. Lithium-ion batteries last longer if you charge them often, a little at a time, to maintain a minimum charge of about 40 percent capacity".
Computers are for kids also (Rerun from 2004)
I wish there had been computers when I was a kid. The resources that are available are fantastic. The things that can be learned have no limit. It is certainly more fun to learn when you can see what it is that you are learning. I have listed a few web sites for kids here, however I think adults will enjoy them also.

What is Flickr?Flickr is a website for sharing your photos online. It has an easy to use layout and simple tools that allow you to quickly upload your digital pictures. Flickr allows you to use tags, or keywords, to label your pictures, which makes it very easy to search and find specific images. Its basic services are free, but you can pay for more advanced features. If you do not have your own web site, but would like to be able to share photos with friends and relatives, this might be for you. You can read more here, www.rverscomputerhelp.com/whatisflickr.html
1 800 goog 411 (What is it??) Use your cell phone to use googles new service. Goog-411 can be accessed by dialing 1-800-GOOG-411. The product is completely free and automated. You tell it your city and state, and then ask for a specific business or business category. Bobbi and I love this service, we don't go anywhere without our cell phone, so we can use this service often. Before if we wanted to find a business, we would find a WiFi connection and look it up on our laptop. This goog 411 is much easier and faster. We are hoping that they will offer residential 411 in the future. To find out more, check this page at our web site. www.rverscomputerhelp.com/google411.html
