Hello everyone, No, I have not passed on nor left the country. Its been a long time since I wrote to the list. However I have been reading most of the digests and kept in touch with developments through Anne. But, I think that I should bring to the attention of all Parkinsonians and others on the list, that there is available on the Internet now a thing called "I-Phone" which permits voice communication via computer and modem all over the world. All that is required is: A computer with soundcard, microphone,speaker, modem and internet access. The neccessary software can be downloaded from "vocaltech.com" and after a trial period, if one wishes, be registered. I have been using the I-Phone now for 4 months and find it an incredible tool for communication. I think it would be of tremendous benefit to many. Written communication is o.k. but, the spoken word is still far better. I have talked to Japan, to Hawaii, all over the USA and Europe. Made many friends but have yet to meet a Parkinsonian. Hopefully this will entice many to try I-Phone and make use of this wonderful and exciting invention. If anybody wishes further info, please let me know. Regards, Werner
