Well.. not really... because you see, I'm thinking that the "isolated"  
machine's apt knows what is installed and the "intermediary" or connected  
machine's apt knows what is available.... now the only thing that remains  
is for some other app (USU) to figure out what needs to be downloaded in  
order for the "isolated" machine to be updated.

Also... dragging the machine to a internet line is not an option...
I don't think it even has a network card, not that it would be a problem  
to install one. :)
