Jon:

I appreciate your suggestions, but you failed to note I'm running OS 8.1.

Handcuffs are problematic since if used 'in front' I might still be able
to reach the keyboard and touchpad. Used 'in back' may tend to limit
other function, as I live alone and confess readily that I'm no Houdini.
Amputation, single or multiple, while plausible, seems a bit messy.

I've always preferred self-medication to therapy, but perhaps I can up
the dose.

Anyone else?

Peter B.
