Welcome, Lee. I think it's terrific that you're on the net for your dad. He's lucky to have you working for him. Are you doing the computer stuff because he's not much of a computer person? If he wants to talk to someone in a similar situation, give him my e-mail address. I'm 55 and diagnosed two months ago. I too am still learning the language of PD and still adjusting to my new status. And I'm still learning about this e-mail stuff. This listsserve has been a real boost for me.
