   I seem to have a couple of years of experience with myself (duh :-) ), and   
   have noticed that I am /very/ likely to make typos when trying to do that.   
   Even to lauhghable proportions when I'm tired.   
      
   But thats not the point.   
      
   > but then someone suggested you could SSH to the Pi from somewhere else to

   The one suggesting it was Lawrence.   And his whole suggestion was exactly   
   four characters, "SSH?".   IOW, not having /any/ of the info you, in the   
   above, have provided (and he still hasn't by the way).   
      
   After which I wrote that that would be solving one problem but by it   
   creating another.   
      
   Based on his responses I had to conclude that Lawrence has absolutily no   
   idea what I'm talking about, so I asked him to explain his solution.  Hey,   
   perhaps his SSH solution is different from the one I know, and cannot ever   
   be(come) a problem.   
      
   I'm still waiting for that explanation though, as no matter how strongly I   
   indicated I need some he refuses to supply it.   All he's posted is a few   
   words which start with "SSH" - without any explanation to them - and a few   
   iterations of "remote machine" - again, without a sliver of explanation of   
   what it is or how its supposed to be used.   
      
      
   So yes, there is a distraction going on, but it isn't the "SSH?" suggestion   
   one itself (it might have worked in quite a few circumstances).  Its   
   Lawrence there verbally dancing around, trying to evade having to say   
   anything at all.  Why ? Only he knows.   
      
   ... Though my guess is that he doesn't actually know much of anything about   
   it. Just some "big words" he tried to impress me with.   
      
   Regards,
