Sorry, I was mistaken. Apparently the wireless connection I had set up was no longer working and the connection icon disappeared from the task bar near the clock. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get the network to "take." I suspect some kind of corruption during a "reboot." I run a static IP network with MAC authentication so I had to do a special setup and I think something went wrong.
Therefore, I re-imaged the USB thumb drive, did setups all over, and all is well now, including wireless connection and updates. Yea! I even installed NTP to automatically update the clock. Wireless is great, connection is good, applications work as expected.
The only downside is that some dialogs are taller than the default pixel count allowed, so things like the Save and Cancel buttons are too low to see. I may have to figure out how to do a remote X session to it from another computer.
So far I'm having a lot of fun.
The build is fantastic as far as I'm concerned, despite some dialogs extending lower than the bottom of the screen. It's a true Mint install with all the basic whistles and bells. It's navigable with the touchscreen and the on-screen keyboard conveniently located in the task tray. It's really quite awesome.
I just need to figure out what cool thing I want to do with it now.
