John C... What an extraordinarily exciting Site you've created! Your technical skills are awesome, but then Australia itself is rather awesome when seen thru your eyes. Thanks so much for sharing your visit to Oz with us all.

We represent all levels of computer expertise and skill. In reality, the longer the time between when we first subscribed and now...we forget how to do things. > >The Parkinsn Online website now has preconfigured buttons which will handle, through your email program, your interactions with the listserv. Once you click a button, your email program will open and the correct information is already entered. All you do is send it. It is that easy. You or others can subscribe, leave the list, suspend Parkinsn Mail, change to digest method of Parkinsn mail delivery, receive copies of your Parkinsn postings, or receive acknowledgement that your post to Parkinsn was distributed. > >Of course, if you haven't looked at the Parkinsn's List Online, you don't know that the last 50 messages to the list are available there for reading or replying. Links at the bottom of the page send you to Simon Cole's archive search pages, Parkinsn's Current Topics Index, Parkinsn's Archive Treasures or the world famous Parkinsn's List Drug DataBase. > >Everything has a cost. The cost Parkinson's sites are borne by the organization or individuals like you and me on limited resources. I am thankful to those who share what they have, to make us all stronger. > >Perhaps you like others would like to make the Parkinsn List Online their starting page in their browser so list mail is the first thing they see when they start Internet Explorer or Netscape. > >Internet Explorer Instructions: > >Open Internet Explorer.

The very top item in the menu that opens is called Homepage. The box is blue and has the address of your present homepage. A button is below called Use Current. Click that. At the bottom of that page the Apply button is activated. Click on the Apply button and then click the OK button. > >Close Internet Explorer now and then reopen it. The Parkinsn List Online will be the first page you will see when you open Internet Explorer. > >Netscape Instructions: > >Open Netscape.
