Christine: And the other day....when we were looking at my battery stats...one of the things was "cycles" and mine was so much higher than yours....is that how many times my battery has been left to die and then recharged? That is scary because I really think (thought!) I never need to recharge because it's always plugged in. (And yet it's not now either!)
Bug: Yes, that's exactly what it is.. but your machine is much older than mine is too.
Christine: right ... I've had it since the beginning of June.
Bug: Why the heck isn't it plugged in? ;)
Christine: Plugger (sorry, PA) is over there and I'm over here ;)
Bug: well.. move it. Use the extension plug that came with the MacBook Pro to give you more distance.
Christine: extension plug? er..maybe it's in the box? LOL ::ducks:: be nice
Bug: Yes.. you know how the white power brick has a removable plug on it? (the part that plugs into the outlet).. there is, in the box, a replacement cord with plug on it that gives you about twice the distance from the outlet.. the cord is attached to a replacement plug for the power brick.
Christine: haha..going to look.. crazy.
Christine: There are two things about this that irritate the hell out of me...
Christine: 1. I'm a smart girl. I should have been able to figure out what that was when I put it in my magical box of extra things (cables, pluggers, etc)
Christine: 2. when in Detroit, I saw some guy using a computer that looked just like mine and I was jealous over the length of his cord....I remember thinking, "I’ll have to look for one just like that!"
Christine: I have been pissy since JUNE about the short length of the cord! (I know that's three things.)
Bug: LOL, I really thought it *was* pretty obvious what it was. ;)
Christine: man. LOL
Christine: well...I was probably all excited...and just did the basic thing..and tossed everything into the box I never look into ;)
Christine: I'm a smart girl, dammit! LOL
Bug: Now, how is that the computer's fault? ;)
Christine: I'm also now a very happy girl :D
Bug: hehe.. is it plugged in? ;)
Christine: I can move alllll over my space now :)
Christine: Yes :D
Christine: LOL..thank you (again!)
Bug: The short one is fine if you never move it or have plenty of room on your powerstrip.. but I find the longer one MUCH nicer.
Christine: yesssssss
Christine: I'm just irritated with myself....how many times did I try to go an extra two inches to have the magnetic plugger thing pop right out? TOO MANY, that's how many! ROFL
Bug: well.. the MagSafe connector is, I think, *brilliant*.. no more pulling the computer off a desk by yanking on the cord, etc.
Christine: oh yes...we had someone trip at the office (another issue altogether) on a power cord and it ended up screwing up the clippy part
Bug: the clippy part? Care to define the "clippy part"?
Christine: the part on the computer the the pluggy part goes into, of course :)
Bug: the power port?
Christine: yes :)
Bug: Gotcha. :)
