A phone call to the ancestral Archenemy Manor:
Archenemy: Mom, I’ve got to run out of town for a few hours and was thinking I’d leave the dog with you guys… I know you won’t be around, but could you ask Dad if he’ll be there?
Archenemy Mom: Not right now…
(strange background noises)
Archenemy: Er… what’s going on?
Archenemy [...]
Great things are on the horizon

Wow.
Good news for Archenemy Field Correspondent Stumpy McGimp*, for sure. When this tech is good enough for bone therapy, he’ll be the happiest (still super-clumsy) jock-again in the world.

So, we’re back, and re-created as part of our host’s one-click install/upgrade service - no more manual upgrades (uphill! both ways! in january! eight feet of snow! and we liked it!) for us.
