*sigh*

It seems that despite saying it many times to many people a few can't get their heads around the idea that I don't want to purchase a cheap item that is not guaranteed to work with software or rather the software is not guaranteed to work with the gadget, when i have the offer of borrowing one to see if it all works.

There is common sense, caution and wasting money no matter how little.

Also I am trying to clear things out of my house and only have things I actually need, 1 gadget for an error that might not help fix it is not IMHO worth it without trying other options first. Not to mention time spent making purchase is time I could be clearing out my flat or sewing.

Then of course there is the Green side of things, If i don't need it for more than a single one-off job. Do I really need it?

Sure if the borrowed one works, or we forget to test it, i will probably risk buying one, but only then.

Oh and when will people realise that not everyone in a global community is from America!

Thankfully most in community have given useful advice if at times blinkered to other world issues.
