My wife and I ran our first 5K yesterday at 7:30AM, in shorts and
T-shirts.
We didn't do too bad for a first run. Next one is in 6 weeks - looking
to
knock 5 minutes off our time. :)
I LOVE being in Southern California. :)

How old is the battery?
My iBook G4 battery would work for 3 - 5 hours depending on the use
before going dead on me, but I also had to replace the battery after
the first year.

Cold weather definitely impacts battery life. Think about how much harder it
is to start the car on cold days, and how the battery doesn't seem to have
the umph it did when it was warmer. It's cold down here too, I think it's 28
degrees Fahrenheit right now, b (hahahahaha)

Last I heard, the newer batteries (Lithium and NiMH) work better and
longer with shallow discharges rather than full ones, so it might be
worth
Whil,
The basic answer is yes on two fronts. One of which is demonstrated here in
the second graph down:

Also friction will increase on metal surfaces the tighter the contact fit
is. On hard disks particularly the drag factor of spinning up hard disks
can
Whil,
And I forgot to add that the internal resistance of the battery will
increase with the drop in temperature which is one of the main reasons for
decreased performance as there is more internal energy loss i.e heat
generated.

Sure, move the Dallas, TX where it snowed a couple inches of snow last
week. With this Global Warming it would be warmer to move to the North
Pole where all the icebergs are melting! (Quickly

I am shocked, I tell you, shocked, that
gas it burned off over the 3+ hours of run time. Hardly
matters, we had power!

This morning we were at -1 F. Not expected to go up much today either.
Last night (Super Bowl) our entire neighborhood lost power, so they

Milwaukee sounds like a warmer climate - here in Ottawa it was -39 this
morning with the wind chill. The kids went off to school
