T&T: laptops and Coastal explorer

[Roger Bingham]

Hi Dave

MS Windows (presumably your operating system) allows you to determine
various factors to do with power management. 

Reducing the screen brightness reduces power consumption. Useful when
running on laptop's batteries.

Go to Control Panel and have a look at the power options.
