My laptop is ill. I was barely able to boot it this evening, as the motherboard seems to think that the main fan doesn’t work. It does work, but if the BIOS believes otherwise, it won’t let the computer boot, to protect it from overheating.
This means that I now have to take great care during the rest of this trip that I only suspend the machine when it’s in transit. If I shut it down, gracefully or otherwise, I may not be able to boot it again.
If my blog entries on holiday abruptly end, you’ll know that the worst has come to the worst.
