Well, I'm kind of heavily invested in UNIX/Pine at my ISP. My
primary consideration for an e-mail client is whether it runs un-
der UNIX, if it allows me to invoke vi (or vim :-) ) to compose
my messages, and if it is available on my ISP's shell server.
But, I was *very* interested in the Opera browser and, in
fact, went to their Web site that you had mentioned in a previous
post. It looked very interesting. And, when the Mac version be-
comes available, I will definitely look into it further.
Thanks.
And ...

10-4, good buddy. I read you five-by-five -- 10-2. What's
the 10-13 at your '-20. Come back ... ;-)

janet, that was poetry. :-)
Uh-oh! I feel an even bigger [blush] coming on. Oh, no --
run away run away! (And, if anybody understands that "reference,"
I'm in even bigger trouble than being a ... ) ;-)

Busted! I don't suppose that I could change your opinion of
me by saying it's a 350MHz Power PC-based G3 with 256MB memory
and a 6GB hard disk along with a DVD drive, Zip drive, a DAT
drive (for backups), and other miscellaneous "stuff," now could
I? ;-)
But, to try to post an actual on-topic message ...
There has been a lot of talk about Sinemet over the last cou-
ple of days. Now, I know that everybody is different and every-
body reacts differently to their medications. But, I am kind of
curious why I am *so* different? ... or, at least it seems that
way to me.
I am currently 46 and I was diagnosed four years ago. My
first neuro. put me on Sinemet 25/100 at two tablets a day. I
noticed no change in my symptoms. My second neuro. put me on the
same 25/100 at the same dosage of two tablets a day. Again, I
noticed no change in my symptoms. This doctor bumped me up to
four tablets a day, but there were still no changes in my symp-
toms. My third neuro. changed the prescription to Sinemet CR
50/200 at two tablets a day, but (again) there was no noticeable
change in any of my symptoms.
My current neuro. put me on three tablets of Sinemet 25/250
per day. And, this was the first time that I had noticed any
change at all. Some of the symptoms were actually reduced and it
was noticeable. But, also noticeable, was a major dyskinesia in
the form of my head bobbing a lot when I was talking. This neu-
ro. then "bumped me down" to CR 50/200 at *four tablets a day* --
and we're talking about maybe pushing that up to five a day if I
can find a way to wake myself at two in the morning.
What confuses me is that many people that have been discussing
the effectiveness and dosage of Sinemet here in this forum for
the last couple of days have said that they are taking the non-CR
25/100 -- and have been for many years -- and it does, in fact,
relieve their symptoms.
Now remember, I'm a paranoid introvert so I almost can't help
from asking "why am I *so* different?" Without being too face-
tious, funny, or silly, does anybody have any thoughts on this
subject? Thoughts, ideas, concepts, criticisms, witticisms, far-
eastern philosophies, ... anything?
Call me curious today. Curious if an on-topic post from me
will draw any responses. And, as we say in Grand Funk land, keep
Shinin' On ...
