  1. @Vero, I woke up this morning and it seemed like Alfred didn't. As his mum I imagine that you can imagine my concern for him. This has been happening regularly and it's been the only trait of Alfred that rubbed me the wrong way. When this happens, I give him (and my Mac) a couple minute to quietly reboot while I get ready for the day - and it always works, but is slightly annoying. The good thing is that after he wakes up from a fresh reboot we can once again greet the day together. I've been worried for him that this might be chronic and he (and I as his caretaker) was just going to have to live with it. And then came this morning and you. Swooping in from out of nowhere with a great bedside manner, calmly giving us hope. So when I wake up after (ahem, a night of streaming Netflix in bed) and before I open my laptop, I reconnect it to my dual-monitor setup at my desk. Then with the laptop still closed (I don't leave it open when I work), my monitors come to life but Alfred doesn't. With your explanation above about Alfred being confused and groggy in the morning (aren't we all sometimes) and showing up on the wrong display I decided to lift the lid of my laptop and call Alfred again (cmd+space). And he was right there hiding out under the cover(s). We played peek-a-boo for a minute and then once he was more awake I closed my laptop cover called his name again and there he was back on my dual monitors, awake and ready to face the day with me. His symptoms weren't caused by either of the two diagnosis you mentioned above, but they were similar enough to diagnose this third case and the arrive at a remedy we can live with. Thank mum for having his back. Should've thought of asking you sooner. David
