Laptop now says it has a full battery charge. I suppose tomorrow I'll test it out, but I'll wait until I'm on the aircraft if I'm going to go there.
Meanwhile, tonight's culinary adventures included a meeting with
janetmiles and her husband. Wonderful company and conversation, though I suspect J got me talking about myself rather more than I intended (wanted to share the spotlight there *G*).
Quaker Steak and Lube the name of the place, and there's evidently one in Clearwater. My meal tonight, a Philadelphia Steak Salad, beef done medium rare and a Cajun Blue Cheese dressing. Large portions; I couldn't finish mine though I gave it a valiant effort. I'll definitely be checking out the one in Clearwater some time when I head down there to visitfatfred.
Right now, time to pack as much as possible tonight, because tomorrow morning is check out on the way to class. We leave from the HQ around 13:00 to head home. Classes went well, with a mixture of new items in the software and feedback into the training process. It's a new upgrade release that we've been the Beta site for, and the other groups are putting into place as an upgrade a bit after we've gone live with the version. So these sessions are as much about setting up the training programs and materials for future implementations as teaching us about the new features.

They just don't make 'em like they used too... or something. *G*
I can only guess that something shifted during travel. May not have anything to do with age.
...not that any excuse for a new pc is a bad excuse? :)
I recall finding replacement batteries through the Gateway web site, but I'm not sure if paying that amount is worth it for this old of a laptop. We'll see. I'm making a list of my requirements now. Optimal will be a desktop which I can dedicate to my photography/graphics work and (realistically) on which I'll also do other work, and a much smaller, lighter laptop or tablet for travel.
