Hardware hiccoughs

First I fall off the bridge across to Spirit Rise in Thunderbluff.

And then I fall off the Internet while doing the corpse run.

The ADSL modem decided that that was the moment to fry its brain. It's still working as a switch, but it's gone away both on its configured port, and on its default port. (And I tried a hard reset.) So it's time to get a replacement. (It's not the first time I've seen one do this: its predecessor managed the same trick.)

Damn.

We're used to films producing egregious errors in matters historical and geographical, but ( there's a fine example in Transformers (slight spoilers) )
