@literary Nice people to be around.
Can't sleep owing to pain in the lower lumbar region and in the right heel. The first is due to bulging discs & lumbar stenosis, the latter due to stepping on an upturned power plug.
Killed the MBP battery with 3.5 hours of use, all online. Part of the time was used to download 3.5 GB of iTunes app updates.
@kdfrawg Correct. And, sadly, in my case to prevent overnight dribbles from violent gastric reflux episodes from getting on the screen.

TIL why my Macs have an empty "Applications" folder inside the Home folder. It's because all apps are available to all users. If a user installs an app which only that user has access to, then that app appears in the "Applications" folder in the Home folder.
With my gastric reflux still being a problem I keep a "chuck bucket" by the bed. So it was ideally placed when I put an almost full cup of tea on the edge of the bedside table instead of a bit cliser to the middle. The bucket caught the lot.
Success! The eBay bid I put in on a 2003 Ricoh Caplio RR30 digital camera turned out to be the only bid. Something to be said for a smallish marketplace like eBay Australia, I guess. And the fact that it's a low-spec camera also cut down the bids. Cost $24.95, postage included. It's actually a very nice camera, has some interesting continuous shoot setups. On one, it takes 16 shots in 2 seconds, in another it takes a movie as long as the shutter is held open, then when the shutter is released, converts the last two seconds into 176 more quick pics. I used to use that quite a lot when I had such a camera.
It was my first digital camera but it wasn't tea-proof, as I discovered when it was drowned when a half-pint cup of tea spilled over it. Everything except the LCD eventually came good.
The replacement camera has a battery but no charger, not a problem, I still have the original Ricoh one, which also works with a shirt-pocketable Canon camera I have. The camera can run from its own 3.7 volt Li-ion battery or a pair of AA cells, another very useful feature.
