Tempers seem to be getting a little heated here. ; ^ ) Thanks for all the great suggestions, Those of you who suggest the technically harder things to do, I am sure, do it out of care for detail and best interest. I have not even gotten the machine yet, I may never. It's from a stranger, (X of a co-worker) who mentioned it once. I will not press the person because I have no real right to the machine. If I do get it, I will probably trade. My knowledge of actuall electronics is somewhat limited, I know what a capacitor is but I can't really identify types on sight. I don't even know what a crowbar is, except that large metal prying tool used to open crates.
