Another helpfull hint:
If you are running on AC remove the batteries (when they are full).
Battery life is shortend when continuously working on AC due to the
loading -> unloading cycle. It is better to remove the batteries and put
them in once a month for a day or so...

Will do, Mecallie.  As this is my first laptop, I'm not too savvy, but I'm
learning!  <g>

Question for AthlonRob:  Why didn't your laptop go into standby?  So far I
haven't found anyway to defeat that on this one.  Now that you mention it, I
think I'll leave it as is, so it doesn't overheat.  I don't know what kind
of sensors this Dell has, but I will be D/L'ing some kind of mobo monitor.
Roelof suggests either  Motherboard Monitor, SpeedFan, or HMonitor.  Wifi
LAN with my other 4 PC's will be reality as soon as I can afford it. <g>.
