we kinda need a standard so that if people get stuck we're not
floundering around or have to write scripts that specifically support
a windows user for example.  too small for that.
hardware.

i did get a macbook pro 2012.  there is no way i would get a modern one.

i just got a (donated) dell. yes the trackpad "works".  it is
