A Little Science Experiment...

First,

Currently Watching: The Bucket List
Currently Hearing: The Hum of My computer
Currently Feeling: Full from Dinner.

And Now,

I had been told by my mother when i first got my hand-me-down computer that it had a broken backlight and a 15 minute battery. I still can't find that backup backlight that we are supposed to have, but I decided to test the other part of the claim. Very simply, I got a stopwatch, pulled the plug on my laptop, and watched the power readings fall. It took 11 minutes and 25 seconds until my computer shut down. Its worse than I thought. I hope to get a Macbook pro either for Christmas or by the time I go into college. I'm not really expecting to be that lucky though.
