If there's one thing I've learned over the last few years, it's that the tropics are rough on all forms of electronics equipment. The damp, the heat, the brown-outs, even the insects – there's a form of tiny ant that seems drawn to circuitry!

So I wasn't too surprised when the laptop of unknown member died. It served for several years, but had been in 'bad health' for several months. We had a discussion about replacing it, and unknown member opted to go for a desktop computer this time.

She brought her nephew with her. He's wearing the shield and mask required there due to the pandemic.
