| If you plug a zinc plate in one side and a copper plate in the other you can use your potato computer to power a digital clock.

| Mediawiki is free and it is a bit like Sharepoint. It is a pain to install. You might try something like: https://lifehacker.com/run-your-personal-wikipedia-from-a-usb-stick-354005 You could also look at https://alternativeto.net/software/calibre/ https://alternativeto.net/software/double-commander/... |

| I have a 2015 Intel MacBook Pro with 2.7GHz Intel i5 and 8 GB of RAM and a 121 GB SSD. I bought when I thought I wanted something minimal to write my resume on.

FYI

| I am thinking about this too. One thing to look at is the DSM-5 criteria - you can google it or ask a good reference Liberian for help. Or ask here if those fail.
