[dba-Tech] Always On Notebook

I think it would be a good idea to remove the battery when leaving the
notebook on 24/7. These batteries don't like being under power all the time.
I think I also read this advice once in a Toshiba manual. Also the screen
should be switched off because the fluorescent light for the background
illumination might wear out. I think this is being handled by the power
savings settings anyhow.

I dunno Arthur, but I pretty much do the same.  Unless I need to take it
somewhere, or there is bad weather coming, I just leave it on and
running.  Let's see what the others say.
