This is very true. Several of the libraries in Baltimore County have Internet terminals for public use. I, too, have been asked by PD support groups to give lectures and demonstrations about the Internet. I also help install computer systems for the handicapped and provide training, so computers are becoming more and more prevalent. Of course, as far as getting materials for the presentations, I just do what all good professors do--make it a student project <g>. I was diagnosed with PD in 1989 and belong to two support groups in Baltimore. One is a young on-set group that meets at Johns Hopkins and the other is a "regular" support group. I'm using my university home page as a home page for both groups, but I've not been able to do too much with it yet since I am in the middle of my dissertation research and that occupies most of my time. For those who might be interested, I participated in the clinical trial for Ropinerole and am currently in the phase II trial for Pramipexole. Drop by my home page anytime.
