Billy, using your laptop for wireless internet fould well help run your laptop
battery down quicker - one more device needing power. I believe some people
turn
off the screen on a laptop to conserv battery life.
To your second question, the Answer is 'yes'. This came up on list very
recently
where many reported their laptop batteries were almost useless because of
continuous use on the mains and the battery getting cooked through over
charging.
Seemingly, few laptops have the 'intelligence' to know when enough is enough.
By the by, this message is by way of a sort of test. I'm still experiencing
email
problems with Plusnet and it'll be interesting to see how quickly this message
reaches the list.

Subject: [access-uk] surely not?
hi guys,
surely this can't be true.
I have been told from people on other mailing lists, that if yu connect yur
laptop wirelessly to the Internet, it will run down the Laptops battery, quicker
than using a ethernet cable.
Can this be really true?.
Also on the same list, the suggestion is that it is a bad Idea to run the
Laptop
VIA the power adaptor.
Finally, is it better to purchase an external Laptop keyboard?.
