Do you think your father might be able to use a track ball? I have an Expert Mouse (Kensington), and use it with my fingertips at a level just above my keyboard. It works for me. I'm not the PD sufferer in our household, but make the suggestion anyway, since my husband is not very interested in computers, even though I've told him about the marvelous information and exchanges going on here. Hope I can get him to be so one of these days. k. >I would like to buy my father Bill a computer for his upcoming birthday and >wonder if anyone has specific suggestions as to hardware which might best >work for a person with PD.
