We recommend using the AC adaptor
We recommend that you keep the AC adaptor with the computer whenever possible, even when using the com-
puter on the road.
We recommend against using applications that place a significant load on the CPU
Some screen savers place a large burden on the CPU. When using these screen savers, a significant load is
placed on the CPU even when the computer is not being used. We recommend that you do not use screen saver
programs.
