<p>The <em>Expo laptop</em> in the tatty hut is a Dell Latitude E4200 laptop (on loan from Philip
Sargent) which is connected to the router by a cable and also by WiFi

<h3>The Expo Laptop's Friend: Aziraphale</h3>
<p>In 2019 we had 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, 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".
<h3>The Expo Laptops: Crowley's Friend: Aziraphale</h3>
<p>In 2023 we have another general-use laptop (it was also in use in 2019). 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, git etc.) and you login to it using the username "expo" and the usual cavey:beery password. It is an R61 14-inch Thinkpad on loan from Michael Sargent and it is called "Aziraphale". The <i>expo laptop</i> is called "Crowley". Crowley has a 64GB microSD card plugged into it which holds the local copy of <var>/expofiles/</var> but Azirophale does not have a working SD-card slot and its hard drive is too small to hold <var>/expofiles/</var>.
<h3>Networking Hardware - experts only</h3>
<p>The networking hardware is an Acer Aspire netbook which keeps us logged in to the Gasthof and does firewalling
to provide local connectivity and local WiFi. The antenna which we use to connect to the Staudnwirt WiFi
is a ~32cm long black stick mounted on a small shelf high
above the sink/stove area and connected via a usb cable to the Acer netbook. There is no separate router: it is all done by the Acer notebook.</p>
