Hello Wayne - 

WC>> After selecting the URL I thought the machine had hung it
WC>> took so long for anything to happen. It's not like the
WC>> landlady doesn't have tech support as she has a guru from
WC>> the former Tampa Bay Computer Society to help her
WC>> troubleshoot and setup. 

CA>> People don't always realize they need help. If she doesn't
CA>> ask, they won't fix it for her? 

WC> Well Sherman is a frequent guest over there and I'm sure he
WC> logs on for one thing or another. 

I use the computers of family members but they have been
persuaded somehow that people like me will make their system
too difficult to maintain and use. They insist that I not 'fix'
anything but just use it as is or not use it at all. 

WC> IMO she'd be better off going back to 98. 

Possibly. I've not used XP enough to have an opinion of it's
useability for average users. 

WC>> I've a spinal injury that makes sitting quite painful so
WC>> I'll not be likely to play with Windows XP ever again. --- 

CA>> I've often thought a podium for the keyboard so that I
CA>> could remain standing would be useful. I have a knee
CA>> injury that doesn't like me to spend too much time seated

WC> I need to design a swing over the bed work station. My knee
WC> is badly messed up too but nothing compared to the back. I
WC> am currently suffering from a painful cracked rib acquired
WC> New Years Eve when the knee gave out landing me on my ass
WC> like a bag of wet cement. 

Sorry to hear that. We must live in parallel universes. I've
had several falls recently myself but no cracked ribs, just
strains trying to _not_ fall. 

WC> Fair exchange, the trauma as it's sometimes want to do
WC> eased the spinal injury pain for an as yet unkown number of
WC> days. 

I've often wished I was authorized and tooled up to study pain.
It seems to be 90% psychological (frequently). A doctor told me
when I was a child that people with gas pains (indigestion)
would come to him with shoulder pain. He was very frustrated by
the 'traveling pain signals' as he called it back then. I
suspect acupunture may have been an attempt at tricking the
pain to move to a less sensitive area where it would be
experienced as a 'lesser' pain by the patient? 

I have used acupressure to relieve my own and others headaches
with 75% success over the years. It's too bad I didn't go into
those areas of study. I think I could've found a few good
things by now. :-)
