Joe..... Having just spent the better part of two days online with MSN tech support to rebuild my email system due to the same power outage that you got caught in, I can REALLY empathize with ya in losting all that email!!! My ZIP drive blew as did the UPS! So much for a backup system! <groan> MSN tech support WAS excellent AND patient (a mistake, I'm sure!) <grin> ------------------ ATTENTION! BITCHING & MOANING FOLLOWS----------- WAAAAAAH!!!! It's SOOOOOO hot out!! And there's ANTS everywhere, outside AND inside! WAAAAAAAAH! <sniffle> Thanks... I needed that! <grin> Barb Mallut [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask] ---------- From: Parkinson's Information Exchange on behalf of Joe Bruman Sent: Thursday, August 07, 1997 1:31 PM To: Multiple recipients of list PARKINSN Subject: Lost Messages? Yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon while I was scanning incoming email, there was a sudden power dropout all over southern California, after which my PC acted "funny". Possibly I lost 50 or more messages to the Parkinsn list or to me directly. Although I don't always reply to each individual, I do read and much appreciate the encouragement regarding the Current Science Reviews- if you think I might have missed your message, please send it again. As I mentioned recently, since access to Medline via PubMed is now free, anyone with www capability can do virtually the same thing I now do by visits to a 'paper' library. However I realized from my own experience that many either lack www capability or find it too burdensome to use. My daughter who is a librarian agrees that looking up anything electronically takes about 10 times as long as flipping to the page in a printed journal. So I'll stick to the email medium, as long as enough people want it. Cheers, Joe
