I have an external USB modem, which is bulky but at least it works. An extra USD $60, and an annoying occupier of scarce space in my backpack. Too bad I can't use the internal modem in my Lenovo, but at least I'm not completely cut off when I find myself in some internet backwater. Which is less and less often, but only last year that modem saved my job when the internet where I happened to be went down for a couple of days. It happens.

About the tone of this bug thread, Daniel Holbach is right. But the cause of the social deterioration is that frustration abounds on all sides. The real question is, what would short-circuit the frustration? Answer: access for Ahmed to a misbehaving machine, if he's willing to work by remote control, and if someone is willing to grant him such access.

If all else fails, I *could* do that during my sleeping-hours, when, strangely enough, I'm not usually staring at my Lenovo T60. Ahmed, are you willing, and, if so, what timezone are you in?
