That belongs to me, and was on loan to the space. People paid no attention
at all to the notice on it saying you need to be trained to use it, and
after putting it back together properly again for the umpteenth time I took
it home again.

I love it and don't want it broken as it is such an excellent machine. I
did not appreciate people tinkering with it without having a session with
me or someone else who knows how it works properly.

Noko (but I have pledged for the Ł50 machine!)
