So, Rikona, how does it handle these attachments? She needs to get genuine attachments, so it's no good just stripping all attachments out. Can it just recognise a scripting attachment? The problem with all of this is that she is so reliant on that machine, and I don't live on the doorstep, so making any change is problematic. She is due to move jobs in a few months, and at that time I hope to be able to get her fixed up with a suitable substitute machine until I can get any big changes done on hers, but only minor changes are acceptable at the moment.
