I thought he was one of the few dwarves who were allowed to sail to Valinor.

No Dwarves were ever allowed to sail to Valinor, it is only rumored that only Gimli, due to his strong friendship with the Elves, was allowed to depart to the Undying Lands.

Did he actually say "so long and thanks for all the fish". I don't think he did did he? That's a bit rude in my book, he won't be getting my vote. 
I have an idea if he ever comes back lets all ignore him for a little while.

No, he just hurrumphed and off he trumped to the circus.

Fat Boy? Don't you mean the Drunken Dalek?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Not FB, but Fat Boy Fat. Should you ever come across the erudite Mr D, you would indeed discover that that fat boy is indeed fat. In fact, and it makes being on FB worthwhile, he is currently regaling one and all about his brave attempts to get fit. These valiant efforts would best be described with ROTFWMPAMAPML.

It was DD who did the old CCC not FB. FB's the one whose given MM the most competition over the most banned user. I know MM has the day ban; but don't know who's got the highest lifetime score. The elephants and sunshines are a lot more entertaining that the zillion plus oneth global warming is fake rant that generally takes FBs accounts down.

Indeed. However, Fat Boy is only one of such a description. DD is (by all reports) also a touch rotund...as indeed as I since I gave up smoking

Any of you have experiences (that worked or failed) with boosting a weak WiFi signal so it can be used by 'typical' devices (I'm fixing up access for an very old timer in wheel chair).
Historical:
1 - His room doesn't have facilities for internet service connection.
2 - I got him a 5db amplified antenna for a desktop and can get a signal of varying strength, but usually stable.
3 - He was given an iPad but it cannot connect to the signals.
4 - He use to use a RoKu, when living at home, but signal too weak for one, now.
I've been letting him use one of my login's for the local ISP's massive WiFi network but he's north-facing and the signals are from the south. So what device is a best option (gamble?) to give him in-room wireless internet?
Modify: The best solution seems to be a repeater. Thanks, all, for doing what you can. Even the pringles (yeechy things though they are).

Have you considered Powerline Networking[^]?
I've not tried it (CAT 5 + WiFi covers the house) but...

The problem is that we've no source to feed into the powerline network to begin with.
It's a senior care residence. There's a building (his) between the signal and his room. The amplified antenna worked but the other devices don't have that option - hence the need to figure out (or better, hear from experiences) what a good first stab should be.

For his desktop, I sort of did this in the commercial way: external antenna, longer, amplified. The desktop works.
My motive for boosting his in-room signal is so he doesn't have to be at his desktop and he can also do his RoKu (bandwidth permitting). A plugin antenna doesn't work for these.
I actually tried, for fun, a variation of this pringles once-upon-a-time. It used foil to create a partial dish to wrap around an external antenna: directional and more signal gathering power. Results were "mmmmmmmm ....."

Are you sure it's an iWiFi signal?
