PHL1037 et al: I don't know but I do believe (a disclaimer worthy of scrutiny) that if you research your computer or another computer, you'd find that you can adjust the user preferences and things like that to make the mouse easier to work. These would be things like adjusting the distance you move your mouse to get the cursor across the screen, (resolution?) or the time in-between clicks that the computer reads as "double click", etc. Poke around in your system folders and set up menus to see if there are ways to customize your computer's operation to fit your style. I figure if Steven Hawking can make his computer talk for him by squeezing that thing he holds in his hand, we ought to be able to discover some adjustments too. Enjoy!

But there is no violation of laws or rules if a url link is given to the article where it can be read and or printed directly. The Irony comes in because the links never seem to be live so they must be copied and pasted into the browser window and then brought up by the browser. I don't know about you, (says I with tongue in unsmiling cheek), but I have PD. My hands shake and wander and sometimes I have difficulty just pointing my mouse, forget about using it to scan a line for a cut and paste operation. I would call that irony and wonder if there is some way to legally go back to the old method where all I had to do was open an email and hit the 'print' icon if I wanted a hard copy Paul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
