<div>Hi Again,</div><div><br></div>Another update... Scott was right about the firmware too. It automatically updated when I installed os851. Sooo... it looks like if the clock battery is able to be charged, all the other problems are easily resolved.<div><br></div><div>Caryl<br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">From: cbigenho@hotmail.com<br>To: support-gang@laptop.org; testing@lists.laptop.org<br>Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2010 15:57:39 -0700<br>Subject: [support-gang] XO "Doctor House" Update...

First I should mention that the University* wifi in the MathScience Resource center is really bad and it is impossible to really do any meaningful work on it. Because of that, we hadn't connected any of the problem machines to the internet. Then this afternoon I got this little note in the middle of a message from Scott Dowdle (also a SGer and works at MSU in their computer lab):</span></font></p>
