    I was really busy yesterday and couldn't post; then when I got back to my hotel, my MacBook's display backlight had switched into permanent "off" mode and I couldn't see to post

    And now I'm here, CUK is taking two minutes to serve a page, using up my valuable lunch time

    I'm off out for some lunch... hope it speeds up while I'm away

                Some googling reveals that my MacBook will hopefully be easy to resuscitate

                Apparently there's a know problem where occasionally, if you've mucked about with the power saving settings for the display, the power management unit can get confused about which parts of the system are sleeping. I mucked about with exactly those settings just the other day.

                As the display was working, it was just the backlight; and as, at power up, the backlight comes on momentarily then immediately switches off, it seems unlikely to be the other alternative - a hardware failure - so a bit of ditzing around resetting some parts of the system should see it right

                And of course, being a Mac, there's a readily available and simple operation to reset said settings, even when you can't see the display

                  Anyway, better get back to work - lots to do if I'm to run away at lunchtime tomorrow

                  Later, folks
