Since it's inception in 1993, we have had the capability to ask any question 24/7, seek assistance or support, to tap into the experiences of many, (thank you Barbara Patterson) and now browse this LIST online (thank you John Cottingham), and we can SEARCH the Archive (thank you Simon Coles), every message since 1993, gotta be a Gold mine there, and we can do it all with just a few clicks... Over the past 30 months the Parkinson's Resources wwweb site has evolved to the latest Very Important Parkie links assembled last week... Go to http://geocities.com/murraycharters one click on VIP... one click on PARKINSN List On-line ... Scroll down John Cottingham's PIEN page and manage your PIEN subscription online... Scroll to SEARCH the archives... Scroll to read the messages posted here online... All available with a few clicks and a scroll... Then surf back to the VIP page and one click, one scroll on BrainTalk - Parkinson's and Presto! you're on the MGH List and you can browse their messages (thank you John Lester)... Surf back to VIP once more and one click 'n scroll on the latest "parkinson" in Rocket News... or SEARCH Ask the doctor... or check out all the other resources by clicking contents... Perhaps it's become so easy people don't realize the true "value" of FREE communication... You don't always get what you pay for.... Sometimes you get much much more.... Sometimes you get the richness that exists here on this LIST... Enjoy... and if you do... pass the word... this LIST exists to enhance the quality of every parkie's life... with no strings... for FREE... can ya beat that? cheers ......... murray Oh... and if you hear that Ali is comin' to Toronto, or Tom Brokaw mentions a miraculous new treatment, or whatever... just go to the VIP page and click on "parkinson" in (any) News, and if you don't see a suitable headline, type in Ali AND parkinson... or Q10... or GABA... Just do it... you will like it! * * * Murray Charters <[log in to unmask]> http://www.geocities.com/murraycharters/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
