[Blackpool] laptop power management in Linux

[Elizabeth C]

Hi Tony

I'll pass this information on to a lady in Wales who is soon to be initiated into Linux and Ubuntu. 

You might recall the Magazine you gave me with a Ubuntu 12.04 CD in the back?  Well I listed it in the monthly eBid charity auction this month (which finished today) to fund raise for a kids Orphanage ~ it has raised £10.00 ~ and it will be posted to Ann in Newtown tomorrow.  Ann has heard about Linux on the eBid Forum (from me and one or two others) and is really glad of the chance to try it out.

Thanks for giving me the magazine in the first place!

Elizabeth
