[macvoiceover] Re: new member and new to mac

One thing you can do to extend the battery life on your macbook even further is to reduce the screen brightness to 0. (f1 or function-f1 depending on whether or not you have the checkbox in the system preferences about functions perform hardware functions or not) 
This usually gives me nearly 5 hours on a single charge.
F2 will increase the brightness in case someone else wants to look at the screen. Alternatively, the screen curtain function does the same thing, but I find the brightness controls more helpful myself.
