It's early in the morning, sipping my coffee and working away on my laptop, and sudden;y *ping* the battery warning comes up informing me theres little life left in the little guy. Thats strange, the chords' plugged in the side but it doesn't seem to be charging (follows chord to the wall socket with eyes)...DOH! It's not switched on!

No problems, I have my remote control power socket switch; no need to get up!

*click*

...charging

       Maybe he was twanging on the cable to create a chord?

       //Who, me?//   

       No. No. I didn't say anything.

Jinbish, Nov 30 2007
  

       The cord's what?
What [angel] said. I have several.
  

       What about a long pole?
