This (battery use) is the same advice I have been given by my
neighborhood
Mac man, especially the first few cycles. John's advice may be more
up-to-date, but I have followed the advice. He also said shut down,
or at
least sleep, when not using for a long time (overnight). Be sure to
shut
down a laptop before packing it in a case.
I worry about the useless use of energy by leaving computers on all
the
time. I am willing to power on when arriving in the morning and
waiting
while I am settling in for the day.

Interesting!
My tech guy also said it is best to charge the battery to 100%,
unplug,
use the computer, and let the battery drain to nearly 0%, then
recharge
again. He said this will extend the battery lifetime, rather than
to just
keep the plug in all the time, or to not let the battery
completely drain
before recharging.
Thoughts?
