I've got an 872B with a broken local switch, which I was kind of

fix it first and make sure it works properly, unless you're particularly 
keen to do it yourself.

Understanding and geeky though my girlfriend might be, running ceeform 
plugs in the computer room might be looked upon... unfavourably.

Glasgow close enough?  I've got to get a greywall to Dan Kolb at some
