Greg: you have infinite insight, not to mention PURE GENIUS!
I
had accidentally hit the Fn/WiFi button! Now I'm up and running again,
just in time to leave for NYC to enjoy my daughter's graduation and civil
wedding.
(And, thanks to your example, I decided to change the CMOS
battery in my 7 y.o. Thinkpad. That's a task - remove bezels, keyboard,
don't loose screws, figure out where to get a plain old battery but with a
wired connection . . ..)
