Here we are, just about to leave London, and our laptop has been experiencing serious problems.The CPU (Central Processing Unit) has been running at 95-100%, and that ain’t right. When we have tried to talk on Skype, the connection has been anything but smooth. I was beginning to believe that our laptop was in the final throws of death and about to become a door stop – bueno por nada! I certainly don’t want to buy a computer in England, because their plugs are goofy – useless in the US. With the VAT (Value Added Tax), I’d pay more than I would for the same computer in the States.
I felt impressed to call my friend Paulo, the Family Search IT guy for the UK. He told me that it sounded like heat. Heat makes a laptop slow way down and run inefficiently. He asked me to look at the air intake and the exhaust ports. The exhaust was clean, so I looked on the bottom of the laptop, and there I saw a very plugged up grill over the exhaust fan. Now that’s clean, and we have what seems to be a new laptop. Skype calls are better than ever, and with a cool computer, it runs much faster.
I love those wonderful impressions and kind blessings.
