Hi, Alastair.

To be honest I had to look it up - in my head I thought it might have been one
of those desktop things that looked like a Mac and basically did word
processing but no! It's a luggable!

That looks very cool and I can see why you are so keen on it.

I've also just started using a Windows XP netbook that my parents had no more
use for. Man, it was effort to get a CP437 friendly terminal program
downloaded onto that thing. Between out of date root certificates, lack of
modern SSL / TLS ciphers and most of the good software being on github or
sourceforge which requires SSL... I try to avoid browsing on it, to be fair,
as it's probably vulnerable to a huge number of exploits.

I'd love to get a bit more happening on it, though. I don't know how old it is
(it tells me flash player was last updated in 2013) but it's a lovely small
form factor with about 7 hours of battery capacity. I don't know how it's
still holding charge but it is.

The weekend is almost here - hope you have a good one!
