notebook computers, laptop accessoriesWe often forget how great of a thing electricity is until we don’t have it. As was the case yesterday when I was sitting on the couch watching TV after getting off work early and everything hummed before turning off. It was 75 degrees outside with no wind or the sound of a close by transformer exploding. I expected the surge protector had shorted. That wasn’t it and flipping the electrical box switches off and on still nothing happened. Long story short, the power company was sent out to fix our individual problem. The worst part was I could hear neighboring laptop accessories project music through the walls while I sat with no form of working media. It did motivate me to read a book but then I had an itch to go online.

My notebook computers battery was charged so I walked down to a local Wi-Fi hotspot and setup shop at a table. It was quite the relief to get connected again. Sign of the times. Notebook computers with a charge really come in handy when the power goes out.
