Thanks Doug, being a quadriplegic this is of particular interest to me. I will be watching for it's implementation and will notify my primary care physician and my physiatrist. I hope they can perhaps get me into a study or in some way get me going on this treatment as soon as available. If you or anyone else knows more about the implementation of this I'd surely appreciate you help getting the information.

Ian Hopper > CNN Interactive Technology Editor > The virus was first reported in Hong Kong, spreading through Microsoft Outlook e-mail systems and through a popular Internet Relay Chat program. *Note* Outlook > Security experts at F-Secure have analyzed the virus thoroughly. Users usually get an e-mail, sometimes from someone they know, asking them to check the attached "Love Letter." That file is a VisualBasic script, which contains the virus payload. As long as the user deletes the e-mail without opening the attachment, their computer is safe from harm. Once a computer is infected, the virus transmit itself through e-mail using Outlook's address book. This is one of the reasons I don't use Outlook (express or full version) for email. Many people do not know this but Outlook will activate these types of viruses or other macro code automatically before you even get the chance to delete it. I heard this reiterated on MSNBC by the author of Informatica, who was being interviewed about this particular virus. Perhaps there is a way of turning off this feature of Outlook's but I will still continue to use Netscape Messenger or another email client for the simple reason that I avoid Microsoft products wherever possible. Uncle Billy is rich enough! Furthermore, I object to such a powerful and wealthy beyond belief company CHARGING FOR TECH SUPPORT!! If their product is GOOD they should stand behind it. It seems even they don't have much confidence in it so they CHARGE YOU when THEY are at fault! I also object to being an unpaid beta tester. They put out buggy code then rely on the consumer to PAY TO COMPLAIN then they put out endless patches. They even had the nerve to charge to Windows 98 SE!!! We consumers put up with way to much from big brother Microsoft. I'll be glad if they break it up. Uncle Billy's greed gonna bite him in the ass!!
