As far as I can tell, the battery in the XO-1 retains its charge quite well when taken out of the case. But in my experience, when I specify 'Shutdown' to the software, and close the XO lid after all its lights (including 'power') are extinguished -- then when two days later I insert the AC adapter into the (still closed) XO, after the 'power' light comes on, it goes yellow. [I've seen this both when I was running 'joyride' on the XO, and when I was running 'staging'.] I take this to mean that *something* was draining some power for the two days the XO was sitting in its "shut down" state.
If I want to prolong the "shelf life electricity" of my shut-down XO, do I need to "turn off" some facilities before I click on the 'Shutdown' entry in the palette of the central icon in Home View ? mikus _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
