I know wd40 is a no-no, but sometimes is necessary. Do you have pics of the machines?
Melinda, I don't have pics yet. I've been dealing with family issues like you won't believe and so far that isn't going very well. Then I'm working too much so I'm having to do it all. Next week will be more of the same. The guy they hired for me to train quit before I got him trained. Two or more weeks to get someone else through HR. I'm just lucky to get some computer time once in a while.
