I was "between jobs" for many weeks earlier this year, and they provided a great service. I have a computer at home, but no printer, and did not feel like buying one while I had no income.

I have seen a lot of "media commentators" say they could not see the point of including USB access. That is the point! I cannot see why they were connected to the wider WINZ network.
