Tuesday night personal

I'd erroneously told E. today that if he put the top down on the laptop, it would go into a sleeping mode and he wouldn't have anything to worry about if he went in to work today and left the computer on.

Then, when I got home from work, I went through his laptop's instructions again and found out this wasn't advised. (This was OK for my netbook (my recollection) but not for E.'s laptop, which could overheat and get damaged.)

So after work I drove up to E.'s place of business and got the key to his apartment and went in and opened up the laptop (no damage had occurred) and meanwhile started to run 12 Windows 7 updates and left. All is OK.

I saw that he'd already managed to figure out how to get on Facebook and had only a few steps to go. He's learning on his own (as I'd suspected he would). He has a lot of family and friends on Facebook and they've encouraged him to join. (I'll have to warn him about it.)
