In almost 2 years this is the first time it wanted to boot into PXE. Something changed the preferred boot sequence in the bios!

I don't watch my computer boot so if it were me, this might just be the first time I noticed that it tried PXE.

Interesting. Just this morning, I experienced, on my own system, the sort of freeze that I haven't seen in a solid decade - mouse/keyboard not responding, not even Ctrl-Alt-Del could elicit any sort of response. Unplugged both the mouse and keyboard, still nothing - and this time the CapsLock and NumLock keys wouldn't trigger the lights for them. The mouse is going through a powered hub, but the keyboard is plugged into the PC itself, so that ruled that out.
Rebooted, all fine, and the system didn't report anything unusual, at least to the extent where it could have captured *some*thing in the event log.

Perhaps an update of the NIC driver that enabled the PXE boot? The Dell BIOS spots this and "helpfully" puts it in the list?
So old that I did my first coding in octal via switches on a DEC PDP 8

Beer, food, and sports (Rugby?).
Something most countries can all agree on, I'm sure.
Cheers.

Cricket? I also heard you have serious problems with frogs, rabbits, and dingos.

Another sport that my Swedish grandmother would have derisively noted as having en avlång boll (an oblong ball).

She might also have remarked on the fact that it's mostly played with the hands, not feet, so handoblong not football.

Thank you.
We'll be having a BBQ and lazing about the pool (nice day for it, about 30C).
It's cricket season at the moment, AFL/League/Rugby start in few weeks.

This is definitely the most useful new (to me) word that we've had in the CCC. It appeared in a question on a recent episode of Richard Osman's "House of Games" on BBC2 and my wife was amazed that I knew the answer; I only knew it because it had been a CCC.

I saw the same question, on the same show, and gave the same answer!

Is that not what she always thinks?  
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
