How to Handle a Dead Battery

Recently my main battery has died in MacBook. The computer is a little over a year old. The battery has a mere 127 cycles on it. Apple says, a battery will start degrading after 100 cycles. This 127 cycles is the lowest I have ever had on a Macintosh laptop.

So what to do:

1. Stay plugged into the wall. Grrrr
2. Do not drain the battery all the way down. No matter how little you have left.

The good news. Apple has finally built in a 'deep sleep' into the OS. This means that the contents of RAM will be written to the Hard Drive and the contents kept safe.

To wake the computer:
1. Open the lid.
2. Hit the power botton, once.
3. Wait.

All set and ready to go.

Why Electronics Are Bad

My whole life is on my Palm. And it died. Yes I have a recent backup. That is not the problem. I now have to buy a new one.

I have used this one for over 4 years. And now it is dead

Grrrrr.

What this has made me realize is that we are totally dependt on electronics
