It looks like a very interesting and active discussion format. (I was away at Christmas and had accumulated over 50 unread messages in a few days !). By way of introduction, I am an elementary school principal in Oakville and have been active with personal computers since the days of the Commadore PETs and TRS-80s (circa 1979-80). My interest in this particular disease stems from a family connection. My 73 year old father has been displaying various symptoms for the past 7 years. Since my parents live in a small community, access to good neurological care has been difficult. It's really only been in the past 3 years that his doctors have ruled out Alzheimer's and decided that the dementia that we've seen is really PD based. Other symptoms were more readily associated with the disease. >From time to time, I'll share questions and observations from our experiences with the "list". I've posted one already. Brian Brian R.
