| Ooo. I think I would have to choose ...OTHER. Ubuntu or Xubuntu for my older, yet well built system. But, at the moment, Windows XP PRO SP3. But I believe I would consider a dual boot of Linux and Windows any day. The last time I used a Mac was in middle school, and that was System 5,6,7, or possib... |

| If you happen to have heard Michael Savage's comment on autistic children, then you must have been pretty pissed. I am on the autism spectrum, and this sent me into such a fit that I emailed him a rant, but it bounced. I'm a 12-year old who has Asperger's and I demand an apology from this man, becau... |

| On most consumer desktops and portables, they don't place floppy disks in anymore due to the wide popularity of USB flash drives, BluRay discs, and Secure Digital cards (I know, I'm a big nerd, you don't have to tell me!). On most business desktops, you still might need a floppy drive internally for... |

I have helped kids and teachers at my school with electronics, and whatever advice you have, I'd love to help. And in case you were thinking, I have no preference over Windows, Macintosh, Linux, or any other ... |

| I don't have audio now so I didn't watch the video, but few things rattle people more than "cure" (which I don't like either) or even "treatment" (which I think are sometimes reasonable) discussions (maybe "self-diagnosis" is up there as well) so that may be the reason noone's responded (yet). I ju... |

| I think if and when a treatment is found - though, as with pretty much everything, I don't believe any single treatment will treat every single person; what works for some won't work for others - it will probably cost a lot at first, but then come down in price over the following years. As with eve... |

I am the mom of a Prince. He's Siamese.
I think that he'd be happy being called a "prince". Have you actually called him a prince? |

| jacobdallen, you really should go back to the doctor -- you need to eat to be able to grow. That much of a weight loss is not normal. Unless Strattera is doing magical things for you, the lack of interest in eating is a major negative side effect. There are other meds to try, and at your age (the s... |
