<li>"Pulsifer" is also running Xubuntu/xfce. It has a recent solid-state disc, wifi, ethernet socket and (unsually) a working battery of about 1 hour. It is configured to run troggle software locally (but not as user 'expo'). It is old and heavy but we do have a 12V supply for it. Installed in potato hut 16th July 2025.
<li>In 2019 and 2023 we had "Aziraphale" . This failed to revive in 2025 and is pending repair in Cambridge. It has the identical[Cinnamon/Debian] configuration and survey software installed as Crowley. It is a big, heavy R61 14-inch Thinkpad on loan from Michael Sargent. (Note that Aziraphale's SD code slot doesn't work).

<p>Pulsifer, Barbie and Anathema also have a complete troggle development invironment installed, but this is not availble from the "expo" login.

<h4>Laptop batteries</h4>
<p>Both Crowley and Aziraphale are old and have bad batteries. Crowley only runs 10-20 minutes on battery and Aziraphale only about half an hour or so. So both should be run permanently plugged in to mains power. Barbie's battery lasts a long time: several hours in use, but annoyingly it self-discharges if left unused.
