Stan H..... Two things Stan.... 1. Your computer was worth $2500 while it was for sale. The moment you left the store with it, the actually value of the PC began to drop dramatically. In fact, one can judge the true value of a just-purchased 'puter be this simple code: "The further you get into the parking lot while moving towards your car, the less value your PC has." Using the above mentioned code, you'll find that by the time you drive out of the parking lot, your newly bought PC is worth about $1.95! <grin> 2. You only have ten lines of type to work with in conveying your message to the List? As a writer, you should look upon THAT as a CHALLENGE! <wee smirk> Why Stanley... any writer worth their salt should be able to convey a wealth of information in a mere ten lines! <grinning, ducking & running). Isn't it good to be here with folks who just ooze sympathy? <g> Barb Mallut [log in to unmask] ---------- From: Parkinson's Information Exchange on behalf of Stan R. Houston Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 1997 6:17 AM To: Multiple recipients of list PARKINSN Subject: Responses to Stan's Request Everyone: Thanks to all who responded to my message Sunday. You've given me very useful information. If anyone else has had a pallidotomy -- or any other type of surgery -- I'd still appreciate hearing from you. I'll try to answer individually after my computer is repaired. Yes, Kathy, I've had trouble since April. AOL jacked up their RAM requirements. My four-year-old $2,500 computer only has 4MB. Damn thing wouldn't respond to AOL commands. Finally hauled it to a Best Buy in July to add 12MB RAM and 2 GB harddrive memory. Still doesn't work. I plan to have the handy man who's helping us fix-up the house this week take it back for me (I cannot lift it.). That's why my messages are short. Computer will only send one that's approximately 10 lines. Stan Houston (54/6.5) [log in to unmask]
