It worked fine until the end of last week. I'm not a big fan of Twitter, but so many great posts on DU link to Twitter videos, that I can't really get the full effect of DU without a way to play these videos, except on PCs as opposed to my Chromebooks.

I guess I will do a PowerWash when I have some time.
