Oh, no.

I was told that 2021 shipped fully assembled, with batteries included, but I’m looking at a big box with unclear instructors on vaccines & the transfer of power, an odd Allen wrench, a manual in Swedish, & the website is a 404.

Please advise?

Ok, I’ve unboxed 2021, put it together, & plugged it in, but didn’t see a noticeable change at midnight.

So, I rebooted it, & now our country seems to have come back online in safe mode.

Does anyone have a clean copy of DemocracyOS.1789?

(I’m worried about a corrupted disk.)

Waitaminute. I need a Zip drive to boot up from this last update from 1992?
I’m not sure if I still have a dongle to convert SCSI to USB any more.
It looks there’s FTP server, but I haven’t used Fetch in years.
There’s no way this thing will be running right in the morning.

I really hoped this would be ready in the morning. Anyone else having trouble getting the new year to start up?

I ran by @LawLibCongress @librarycongress, the Supreme Court, & the @USCapitol, but no one was around to troubleshoot my problem. (I see @RepAOC is providing remarkable help desk support online, but has antiquated tools, limited access to source code & read/write authority.)

I ran another over to a former administrator’s place. There was limited documentation on site & no live agents, but I found good resources online: nps.gov/linc/learn/his…
When I get home, I’ll try rebooting again “With malice toward none, with charity for all”

I didn’t find a manual, but did discover a useful comment about this approach from an expert:
