Barry,

 BM> Greek army uniform. Swiss Guard.  ...Scottish kilt

  Red Skelton said that when he was growing up, "nothing in a skirt
was safe...nothing. Then that day when the Scotsman about beat me to
death!!" <G>.

 BM> "This home is protected by a false sense of security"!

  I also have a decal with "Dachshund Security Company"...death from
the ankles down. <G>

 BM> Actually might act as a deterrent: if a robber has a choice
 BM> between going to a house where he could possibly get caught and
 BM> a house which doesn't seem to have protection I'm thinking he'd
 BM> go to the non- protected house.

  Exactly.

 BM> I learned and practiced a lot of my hobby electronics on broken
 BM> stuff. Dad's attitude was I couldn't make it much worse!  :)

  Then, you made him a liar. <G>

 BM> Recharge with power off -- apparently nothing.  Pulled battery,
 BM> powered up but took several minutes for it to get it's poop
 BM> back in a row (I think I just mixed two or three metaphors!)
 BM> before I saw a screen.  (New battery should be arriving today.)

   Batteries...cellphone and otherwise...run down so quickly.

 BM> I'd try my routine, especially the no-battery part.  The
 BM> battery has some sort of monitoring electronics in it and maybe
 BM> it's screwed up and/or the software in the computer is messed
 BM> up and preventing a boot. Guessing, but AFACT wouldn't break it
 BM> further.

  I don't think there's a battery in it.

 BM> One would think with how crowded the 2 GHz band is, plus
 BM> interference from microwave ovens, they would run to the 5 GHz
 BM> band.  Of course the problem may be the IoT (Internet of
 BM> Things) regulations.

  I thought that the higher speed hadn't kicked in, but when I did
the speed test through the browser, the higher speeds showed up. The
Ookla test was being done on the slower speed network.

 BM> <Looking at the back cover> Hey! You're right!

  I looked at it through the mirror. <G>

 BM> Zero bytes -- dentist likes that!!

  Or the dentist puts all the stuff in the patient's mouth, then asks
"So, tell me...how's the family??".
