<h3>The Expo Laptop's Friend: Aziraphale</h3>
<p>In 2019 we have another general-use laptop. This is not connected by any cabling and just uses WiFi. Like the <i>expo laptop</i> it is running debian Linux and has the same set of software installed (survex/aven, tunnelx, therion, tortoisehg, git etc.) and you login to it using the username "expo" and the usual cavey:beery password. It is a 14-inch Thinkpad on loan from Michael Sargent and it is called "aziraphale". The <i>expo laptop</i> is just called "debian".
