Dear listfriends, It seems I am in bad luck at the moment...But as always, there is a good side on it: My computer broke down at the beginning of the year. I received a new motherboard but it didn't work properly. A week after the replacement of the motherboard my videocard and moniutor did poooofff. My CD-Rom drive didn't work either. I started to think I did everything wrong, so I was glad to find out the company where I bought my computer also didn't succeed in getting it working properly. So after 10 days I got my computer back and after one day hard labour my two harddisks were too full : the smallest harddisk crashed. So I bought a 1.2Gb harddisk and installed it..... not. I tried for several days,but it wouldn't work. And again I thught I was doing something wrong. Back to the store with the harddisk and yes ... a dozen questions assuming I did something very wrong. But I had found my old selfconfidence back and I smiled at the whizzkid until he didn't have any more questions. (the harddisk appeared to be broken, no sign of life at all). So I have a new harddisk...it is working great. Now I'm reorganizing my harddisks and diskettes. Why am I telling you this? Because I think my selfconfidence is less when I'm "off" and I have chosen to be more "off", above taking more medicin, so my selfconfidence became worse. Finally I succeeded in breaking through this vicious circle, by raising the level of l-dopa. But it has consequences : overreacting on the Sinemet when I take it too early. The unvoluntarily movements are sometimes worse than the symptoms. But life is still good! I promised you some information : 1. statistics : coming soon 2. Overlays for keyboards : I just phoned the firm again and they told that they are working on it. 3. I promised several ppl to inform them about my activities : coming soon more than 600 msges to read!! help! greetings from a sunny holland:) Kees Paap btw : my computer is almost new now : keyboard, motherboard, videocard, extra harddisk, 8 mb extra (total 16 mb), CD-Rom player.
