Forrest, this has been pointed out previously, as wel as the difference between flourescent and incandescent lighting being different in the appearance of the flicker. To add another factor, i wonder how many PWP's ave received electrical shocks, either as a part of therapy, or accidental exposure during work on electrical devices. I know I have had more than my share of shocks playing with electronics since I was a small child, now I am 53, and so far have no symptoms of any condition. Since my father has Parkinson's I guess I may be somewhat at risk. [OO] LOOKING FOR RADIOS!
