If so, that's good for him. :)

We'll just need a new mascot, and someone to bring up Haskell-related 
topics.

News via Facebook from Cousin Ricky:

Ouch. My computer fan is now fully busted, so no rendering, and the
newsgroup software won't log me in on my phone (most of the time it
wouldn't work on my computer either), so I have no way of communicating
directly with the POV-Ray community.

the suggested tool to fix the fan is unavailable on my island, and
neither of the on-line stores posted will ship here, so it's gonna be a
while before you hear from me.

Sounds like the magic smoke is gone that makes the fan work.

I doubt it would be "affordable", but maybe if I got details on the model /
specs of his fan, I could dig up one or 6 of them over here and see how much
shipping is to ... whatever island paradise he's sipping drinks on.

Maybe he can temporarily just sort of duct an exterior fan into the case for
short periods...

It is the American Virgin Islands not Jamaica. ;)

His battery was not charging either. And he seems to have forgotten that 
you can use the Web view on your phone.

But then he is probably feeling as sick as a pig and not thinking straight.

Somehow, I'm not going to cry for him.

The last island I got to go to was Loon Island.

Not a word.
Not a single word, Frog-Licker.

Hmm.
Batteries are definitely known to go bad.
We have boxes upon boxes of dead laptop batteries that are destined for sale to
someone doing lithium reclamation.
We had a power outage / one leg of the 3-phase power, and when the transformer
got repaired, my work laptop wasn't charging - so it must have fried the
battery.

https://www.myus.com/vir/
looks like it's about $15/lb to ship to there.
