The tablet has been brought back to life (knock wood).
After researching the problems that tablets have, and accessing the knowledge of some younger experts, I have brought back the Tablet. It appears to be working again. We scrubbed it clean, and it is responding…. which is probably more than they can say for me.
Oh, and preserved forever on this blog… look at the date on it… and look at the reported temperature. That is not fake. No Photoshop® was involved in the production of this post.
Maybe it started working again because it thought it was Spring.
