Rather sadly the varying types of Alzheimers are only different in where they start... Not where they finish. That was my understanding of it on the Living with Alzheimers documentary with Mr Pratchett. Different forms may start differently as they originate or first show in differing areas of the brain, but the ending is tragically universal. I've just started listening to Unseen Academicals now in audiobook, as I didn't seem able to sit down and find time to concentrate on reading it properly, which should have been far easier to find time for since undertaking my own brief experiment on Friction And The Human Foot When Met With Solidified Surface Moisture, which was quickly followed up with The Aerodynamics of People and its accompanying title The Ballistics of Flailing Bodies, a title of the resulting paper might be People Fly Just Like Bricks. -- John Williams My linux blog of notes and guides http://subbass.blogspot.com/ -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
