I have had this annoying problem with my Powerbook. Yes, this 12’ Powerbook has problems too. For a couple of month, I was satisfied with until I brought it when I went to the road show. It’s rather heavy when I carry it in the backpack. It makes my back hurts for a while. Well, it’s probably not a traveling type notebook.
Another problem that still arises occasionally was the battery-charging problem. When it’s below 60% of charge, then it will go slowly (I’m talking about 1% increase per 6 hours of charging) increasing.
But that’s not it, to make the matter worse, I got this random glitch, sometimes when in unplug the cable, the notebook will just shut down as if it wasn’t powered up by the battery. When I plug the cable again and turn it on again, the battery bar will show me 0% of charge. Dang! Then I have to charge it all over again, with the fact that it will charge 1% in every 6 hours or so, then I need almost a month to full charge it.
Well last night, the same thing happen, the battery bars shows a fully charged battery (100%). Then I unplugged and voila! It goes blank. Luckily, when I turn it on again, the bar still shows a 100% charged battery. The problem solved when I remove the battery and put it back in. Still, these kinds of things were very annoying.
Anyone has the same problem?

This is for all of us, Indonesian.
Who doesn’t know Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo, or David Beckham? Who has no idea whose Jose Mourinho or Sir Alex Ferguson is? I know there are a lot of you (especially sports fan) who knows them well. For they are the football superstars from those big multi millionaire football club.
Now, do you know whom Aris Indarto, Ponaryo Astaman, Robby Darwis, Benny Dolo are? Or what is Persiba Bantul? Probably not everyone knows them. They are the football athletes from Indonesia. Yes, they are not as famous as those mentions earlier. At least, for you Indonesian sports fan, you should at least have the idea who they are.
There’s nothing wrong to be a fan of those megastars. But sometimes we are to busy worshipping them we overlook our own football start. We’re underestimating and turn our face around when we talk about the Indonesian football competition and players. Yes, the quality is very far from European competition.
But so what? Are we going to rant about this all the time? How about we find a way to change it for the better? I know you probably want to say that “Hey, take a look at our own FA, it is a mess in there I tell you”. So be it, I say, it’s not the time to whine anymore. It’s time for us, Indonesian to support our competition no matter how horrible it is.
The fans support factor is somewhat necessary. If the local football fans are growing, a positive development will certainly touch some aspects of the whole problem. Whether it’s the club or the competition itself.
Fans becoming larger then the club will grow the quality of the player and officials will increase, then the competition will get better eventually. That’s my theory on how to increase the value of football in Indonesia.
