I was born and raised in Bozen/Bolzano, a small town in South Tyrol and a nice place in the north-east of Italy surrounded by beautiful mountains.

My computer addiction began in 1983 with my first computer, a Commodore VIC-20.

I graduated in Computer Sciences (Informatik) at the TU Vienna in Austria in 1994, came back to Italy in 1999.

I'm married and have two little kids. I'm a PC, but I own a Mac too. I speak German and Italian much better than English, but I hope it will get better posting here.

comment Should laptops remain plugged in when their battery is 100% charged?
Good point, Arjan. BTW: I don't remove the battery on my Macbook Pro, because it dissipates the heat very efficiently. The bottom line is: it's a conundrum - performance against battery life.

IMHO the terms "free" and "not free" don't apply to something you can't buy.
