Moneesha - I knew how to use the computer BEFORE PD. Learning new stuff now is difficult and upsetting or I would be on top of stuff. My guess was that Prem was not computer savvy before PD and I have seen how upset well people get who are not computer types or have never learned to type.when they try to learn it. I have a friend who can't email. My mother's hands shook when I tried to get her to use the computer. It helps to have been ahead of the game.
