  2. TechPaul, I noticed a link under this recent post about the internet causing ADHD in children & i don’t mean in anyway, shape or form to make light of this serious illness, which thank God is treatable; having known friends and family members who struggle w/ this particular disorder daily & it IS a struggle, especially for the parents. Having said that, i still find myself thinking of comedian Steven Wright who had said in a more recent stand up show that because of the advances in internet technology, his friend who had suffered w/ adhd has now advanced to HDADHD & any and/or all episodes he experiences are now in “High Def”!
