a Grey, but they are more expensive and will have it for a long time, so want to make the right choice.

I've wanted one for a long time, but felt we didn't have the time to spend with it. I'm now working from home and my husband is home most of the time also, so now seems like a good time.

Thanks for the input.

I was leaning towards sm

Plan B. I have already jotted down some questions I need to ask her to get a better idea of what she needs first and then fax or email the proposal to her.

Thanks!

I'm guilty of leaning (sm)
in towards the monitor to hear more clearly. I don't even know what that means. It's just something I've done for 12 years. ((The monitor is not the doctor. The monitor is not talking to me.)) ;)

Experts NOT leaning towards biofeedback...
much better success rate with medication than alternative treatments. Here's a link to an info video on "Not Just for Kids: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Adults" that you would find helpful. The information comes from Patricia Quinn, MD and Peter Jensen MD, Columbia University. Jensen has does some really fascinating research in ADHD. There are some more videos on the site too that you might want to wander through.

I was leaning towards Toshiba because my tech believes they are the best, but
I bought a Dell as a friend told me they are actually very reliable and cheaper to fix if they break. I don't think you'd go wrong looking in either direction given you. You just decide what you want. I wouldn't settle for less than 1 gig of RAM, 80 mg hard drive, internal wireless plus ethernet or a modem in case wireless is not available (but there are several internet cafes that you can use for a small fee and the wireless would work there). I bought a refurb off e-Bay from a trustworthy seller and have been very pleased. If you go that route, just check their feedback for the good, bad and downright ugly. You can save a lot of money if you hit the right offer. Best to you and yours.

Try leaning back in your chair and typing with your keyboard in your lap. I had terrible neck sm
back and shoulder pain, as well as pain in my elbows and hands from rheumatoid arthritis. I tried this method and have been using it for almost 6 years now with excellent results.
