Hi, I'm new to the list and when I tried to send a message not long ago, I got a message that said addresses could only have 16 characters, so my niece (who is my "tech support") told me that I could get on this way. I'm also new to the computer--about a month. Anyway, I just wanted to comment on a couple of things. First, I got duplicate messages yesterday, too and I'm getting them again today--not the same ones, just the same as some I'd already deleted. Glad to know I'm not any crazier than usual. Another thing was about generic drugs--my mother tried the generic equivalent of Sinemet early on, and after a while it was like she was going backwards (not walking, just her progress), so now we stick to the name brand. I guess you just have to try them out and see if they work for you. Also about "The Saga"--way to go, ladies, I am thoroughly enjoying your adventures in earthquake land. Eleanor
