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.
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?
