Oddly, I’m on the XO. Haven’t done this in a while. My installation of Ubuntu is very stable, and when the “ears” (antennas) were turned and the cover lifted, things were ready to go. Impressive.

My vacation isn’t over, yet. However, I did wake at the regular time, and provided a support role for a ride into the city. Funny, when you ride the bus there are a slew of aggravations that don’t get noticed. For example, a car is a cold place to start the day (in January).
