We have two processors, a Shandon 4 years old and a VIP about 14 years old.
I trust the VIP more than the Shandon. We have had some intermittent
problems with the Shandon that have been difficult to trace.
Neither has a modem. The lab techs are supposed to check it if there is a
problem but nobody ever thinks of us....... way back here...... all alone.
