I was just saying that the problem exists because of the nerve in the wrists (between the carpal bones) being compressed. The name of the condition is named after that space where the nerve is: the carpal tunnel. I don't know how many ways there are to get CTS, but I would think that each of them must involve the compression of the nerve. I guess I could be wrong, but it only makes sense to me.

That's why I tell everybody I knew, don't get married until you're at least 30, so I don't have to hear about how your wife won't let you get a bigger TV and stuff like that. But nobody listened to me. Now I get to hear it all from them, waa waa waa, I say. I told you, I did, I did. Butchu dinn't listen. So now I say, whatever you do, don't have kids. They won't listen. They never do. Then I get to hear all about it.

While they may be gamers they might also have a kid in private school and a 2nd mortgage. you're saying disposable income - (consumption+savings)-taxes and that's correct but in the practical sense consumption might include more "necessary" items than games. lloyd On Thu, 3 Apr 2003, Dave wrote: > > --- "Lloyd Millard Mccoy Jr." > wrote: > > What people don't realize is that high incomes > > doesn't always mean more > > disposable income.

A bit expensive, but to each his own. Just think of what kind of stuff (as far as a PC, etc) you could stuff in a SEGA Saturn shell. All in all, that NES PC would be something I'd like to own.

There must be something special about this game that makes nintendo not
release any news about it.  I hope it's really revolutionary.

Not a single screen shot of the game.... maybe cel shade??

Well I hope it's lan like the xbox so that people can hack it to play over gamespy.

I'm doubt that it will be online. yes I will be very dissapointed but I think nintendo is going the safe way. online seems to be not profitable according to them. I think there's alot of profit to be made but I think they are getting old and stupid. - -Vi [ To quit the NGamers mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe ] [ NGamers" (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Apr 2003 11:20:59 -0500 From: "Geoff Taylor" Subject: Re: [NG] Mario kart news and rumors This is a multi-part message in MIME format. - ------=_NextPart_000_0018_01C3059C.968D1010 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable - ----- Original Message -----=20 From: LARGEEYES@aol.com=20 To: NGamers@lists.xmission.com=20 Sent: Friday, April 18, 2003 10:53 AM Subject: Re: [NG] Mario kart news and rumors In a message dated 4/18/2003 3:07:30 AM Eastern Daylight Time, = vi@cs.bu.edu writes: http://www.gamers.com/news/1355415 Summary: 8 player mario kart, 2 gamecube link together, the game is finished and ready to release.

I don't live on campus and the game wouldn't be worth the money to play by myself.
