I would never part with my machine I love it to bits and I'm glad I got one when I did so if mine were to break I'd pay a pretty penny for a new one if it were not able to be fixed... Hope that is useful in some way :) Max Cookie wrote in message news:9kn0ts$qtb3@www.netyaroze-europe.com... > Hi Guys > > I recently contacted my local sony branch, because as some of you know the > only way i get to work on some yaroze stuff is to borrow a friends machine, > No i dont own it, i borrow it.
