Description

     
  2005-02-11 The dialogs and other information about the Tablet PC suggest that there is a "security button" somewhere on the machine.  As far as I can tell, I don't have one of those on Blocco.  I wonder what that is about.  Everything else is there, including an internal microphone that is not documented in the Averatec materials at all.
  2005-02-10 [from the Blocco construction zone] Account for the battery life and create a tracking experiment on the battery and settings that matter.  I should do power-management fairly soon.  Include photos of the indicators and screen shots of the power-level.
  2005-02-11 Check Step-by-Step and see when I should create power profiles. It is probably smart to upgrade to SP2 first.  [dh:2005-02-11 Chapter 8, pp.160-163 provides good tips on caring for the battery.  I need to know what type this is.  Chapter 5, Getting More Power Out of Your Battery has more, pp.100-103, on conserving power during a presentation and while taking notes in a meeting.  There is information on hybernation in Chapter 2, pp.27-28, but there is an implication that hybernation does not completely turn off the computer.  Say what?]
done 2005-02-11 Create a log for recording a history on the battery life and my experience with it.
  2005-02-11 Build a page on the installation and care of the battery
  2005-02-11 Take photographs of the removed battery, the battery insertion point, and the battery installed, with additional pictures as needed.  Make sure the connectors and type of battery are clear.
done 2005-02-11 Customize pages for a System Management account of the Blocco Battery & Power Management
