Thanks, good to have this explained. I basically use the machine as an image database for reference, and occasionally typing out poems. I connect to my printer via USB, and obviously have another machine for network access, which I can remove from the studio.
And basically you take your Macbook to a repair shop and ask them to remove the network card and accept the risk of doing so (may kill the machine if the engineer is an idiot).
Yeah, don't want to break it completely obvs. But the permanence of this solution sounds good in terms of head space; no physical possibility of going online removes the obsessive niggle. I have a local repair shop but not 100% confident they are incapable of being idiots. Would you like to help me out for a forum donation?
If you just want to make it difficult for yourself to reinstate network access, simply getting an admin account which is obscure to you to disable the network interfaces in the BIOS set up would do.
