<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>.
