* I've been using Hiddleston Laptop now and then to watch DvDs. Each time I check for connection with no particular hope. Wednesday, I stuck one in so I could watch extras. no signal, but when I rebooted after there were automatic updates! After reboot I was able to connect. He's weird and laggy, but he's working again, which takes some of the pressure off Rupert who was having to do both jobs with not nearly enough memory for even the one he is doing. Hiddlestion's keyboard is still half broken, of course, but I can do things like farm and watch videos over there. It's a huge relief. I don't trust it will last, but I'll take it while I have it.
