First, I hope a reference to this in the sellers forum is ok Socalgal. If it's not please feel free to remove it. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Dave,
I've got a check for you. E-mail me either your or the address for the LMSS.
My dad has had MS for about 35 years, as well as more recently a degenerative neuromuscular disease that has affected his spine. I can't remember DAD not having slurred speech, a staggering gait and a tremendous swallowing problem (he'd almost choke to death every meal time).
As we speak, he's confined to a bed in a nursing home specializing in pulmonary care (he get's aspiration pneumonia easily) and has a trache and a feeding tube. He taps out all communications with his left hand (the only extremity that hasn't atrophied). But half of what he taps out is HUMOR. He's a tremedous guy with a zest for life that I'll never understand ... he is my HERO.
MS is such an insidious disease. I have friends that are in their 30's that already present signs -- temporary blindness, numbing sensation in the extremities.
Consequently, I ALWAYS give to all causes MS.
So, I'd rather give you a check and have you buy what you need for the LMSS than me scrape together some cast-offs from here and you may not be able to use them.
Good luck, and be in touch soon. This is a noble cause and I admire your efforts for these folks!
THANK YOU...
Tony

I don't have nothing but my old video card I was removed, but send me an address and I'll see what I can dig up around here. But I have all kinds of other stuff, let me know, Dave.
Hell, everyone can afford something, let's be more like brothers( and sisters) around here
The man (Insane Morphius) just sent me a not too cheap video card cause he's cool and giving person, what about the rest of you guys. Give a little , you'll geta lot. Esspecially for those that can't fend for themselves. By , god , I challenge the whole D-mn membership to pitch in one item or at least a good thought.

Hey Dave,
I just did something that I think was clever. I was going to sign up for PayPal anyway (seeing as their $10 signup offer ends tomorrow) and I didn't know anyone whom I cared to refer. However, I filled your email address in the referral line and hey presto! Your name popped up. I think you get $10...you can use it however you like, for yourself or for the MSS, and don't worry about a receipt.
Cheers,
Jean

Thanks Jeana. I saw that email and was suprised. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif I don't even use it yet. I am trying to get address confirmation first so I don't have to use my debit card as much. I am a bit weary of that with all of the cracking going on lately.
Thanks!
Dave
