So basically he has unusually large DVD player.
Network connection works. Pointy thingy works.
Hmm..
Maybe.
Not quite that drastic. It's an old Compaq laptop that had XP on it. At XP's end o'life I could have attempted to slap a Win7 of some flavour on it (which probably would have worked) or played with some Linux distros. Figuring that the hardware would not produce a viable Win7 experience mostly due to the maxed out at 1 gig ram, I opted for the penguin route because it will run in 512 k..
Got it running Mint 17 now (which is a long term support release) and the limitations seem to be with the integrated video and the Cinnamon desktop, so I have the Mate desktop which is a bit less demanding on video hardware. Some of the stuff that doesn't work is tied to Compaq proprietary laptop specific Win drivers which, if anyone has coded them for Linux, I haven't been able yet to find them...
But EweToob doesn't work. Whether that's a Firefox issue, a Linux issue, a settings issue don't know yet since this was the first time I have tried to view any Ewes on the Toob...
But I'm now done playing for the night.
And so is Stumpy ;-)
Although I think he's done playing for a lot longer.
