Thanks all! I'm afraid I'm reduced to the left hand for typing for a while. And gosh no Doc - no rugby - just 150k miles of putting that laptop in the overhead

So I've had it roto rootered and once I'm healed I should be good to go! (the surgery was moved up to yesterday!)
I also had my son check voice recog software out and his results mirrored yours: not quite ready for prime time yet. They probably don't have a southern translation available anyway
