No LAN or Net access? So you are also saying it doesn't get updated
either? I can't imagine too many CGI animators out there without access
to LAN of some type. But if that is your setup then cest la vie. If it
does touch the net un-patched and no permissions that 3 minute delta
that there is between a un-owned and owned system will be much shorter
for you.
