THE VERONICAS- “Revolution”
I am temperamental
Like a heart without a home
I am sentimental
But you don’t know me at all
I have expectations
I wanna be the one you call
And I want a conversation
But you don’t know me at all
Hold on tight
I am
I’m a revolution
Close your eyes
I am, I am
I’ll blow your mind
I am
I’m a revolution
Why do I have [...]
Tracy Chapman – Talkin’ Bout A Revolution
Don’t you know you’re talking about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Don’t you know they’re talking about a revolution

The batteries for the Lenovo ideapad netbook don’t have a ‘memory’ so you can charge them anytime @ any power level.
NB: Lenovo state… to increase the life of the battery, the computer will not start recharging the battery if the remaining power in NO less than 95%.
Gaining, regaining focus/attention.
Once the lid is closed… then opened the Netbook ‘wakes’ easily however the user is required to confirm their password to regain access. Although this is less that 10 secs. it will be a consideration in how the teacher/school determines a common ‘practice’! See earlier posts for DERNSW classroom management.
