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!
Herself thought I was wrong, but ...

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.

A "Grawlix" is the punctuation marks used to replace profanity: "£$%*" instead of "the F-Word" for example.
It has nothing to do with this clue or solution, but was a comment about the probably difficulty of tomorrows clue - Randor is know to post fiendish ones!

Sorry, I misread the thread; thought "grawl-ix" somehow related to sound was the solution.
And it looks I'm dumber than I thought as I come from the land of killer draughts[^]
Back to lurking!
