Oui Monsieur Rupert my Attention Deficit Disorder, dyslexia, learning
disabilities, and/or head trauma must have caused this oversight. I
get bored so easy, especially if it's joined up writing with no
pictures.
As to my culinary habits more likely to have been a plate of Tattie
Scones, Scottish Crumpets, Soda Scones or some French Fancies washed
down with Iron Bru. It would have been lashings of ginger beer, but
I recently fell out with Julian, Anne, George, and Timmy the dog,
well how was I supposed to know that George was a girl? Well she
beat me arm wresting and I think she shaves, and the five are now
four.
I suppose I better say something about computers, well as this thread
was dealing with laptops here a list of tips for using your laptop in
warm weather:
1) Safe Temperature Range
Most laptop computers operate properly in the safe temperature range
of 50 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit or 10 to 35 degrees Celsius. Keep in
mind that when bringing a laptop in from the warm hot air, the laptop
must cool down to the interior temperature before you use it. By the
same token if you use your laptop outdoors, then let the laptop warm
up to the outside temperature before starting it up.
2) Hot Cars
Just as you wouldn't leave people or animals in a car in hot weather,
you should not leave your laptop and other mobile gear either.
Leaving your laptop closed in a vehicle in hot temperatures will
cause damage to your laptop. The heat is not good for the internal
components or the external casings.
3) Bright Sun
Never leave your laptop where it is exposed to direct sunlight,
whether it is in use or shut down. If you must use your laptop
outside in bright conditions you can use either:
a laptop glare screen which cuts down on the glare caused by
the sun
a laptop hood which cuts down on the amount of light directed
at the laptop display.
4) Humidity
In warm weather people are fond of saying it's not the heat itself
that bothers them but the dreaded humidity. Humidity is the amount of
moisture in the air and the recommended safe range of relative
humidity is 10-80%. Moisture can cause damage to the internal
components of a laptop and you may not even realize that the damage
has occurred.
5) Take it Out
If you use your laptop in hot temperatures consider using a removable
hard drive to store your data on. This way you can help protect your
data and ensure that your removable hard drive stays protected from
exposure to heat and the sun.
6) Weather Watching
In warm, hot weather there are more storms, often with little or no
warning and more severe weather occurrences which mobile
professionals must face when travelling. Equipment to help protect
your mobile gear includes having surge protectors, power invertors
and spare batteries. External battery charges that don't require an
electrical connection are another wise investment.
7) Keep it Cool
Use a laptop stand to disperse heat that your laptop generates.
Laptop stands are available in a variety of styles to suit your
working needs. There are laptop stands which include fans to help
dissipate the heat and keep your laptop working at its best.
8) Pack it wisely
Using a properly fitted and well-padded laptop case for your mobile
gear will help keep it insulated against heat, moisture and direct
sunlight. When buying your laptop case make sure all your mobile gear
will fit securely and be protected from the effects of weather.
