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 and it is called "Aziraphale". (Note that Azirophale's SD code slot doesn't work).
<p>Both laptops have had RAM upgrades and solid-state disc upgrades over winter 2022/23. They each hold a local complete copy of <em>expofiles</em> and the <em>expoweb, loser, drawings and troggle</em> <a href="repos.html">repositories</a> but do not have the troggle software configured to run locally, though this could be enabled if necessary.
<h4>Laptop batteries</h4>
<p>Both expo laptops 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. The netbook may not even boot up on battery.

<p>As normal WiFi does not reach across the road to the Gasthof, we have
a high-power dual antenna WiFi tiny black box (Alfa 036ACH) on a small shelf high above the sink/stove area and connected via a usb cable to the tiny dark-blue Acer netbook 'tclaspire3' which is connected by ethernet cable to the Netgear box. It is the Netgear box which provides the WiFi in the hut. </p>
