Did you also try glove stuff?  I found that pressing start, and then making
a fist a few times, and then centering the glove, and pressing center seems to
help sometimes.  Perhaps the glove 'times out' or something like that, when
you don't make a fist (or something) within a short amount of time.  What does
everyone else do when they fire it up??


Also:  Does anybody have any software, or knowledge of how to relay a mailing
list to a newsgroup (and the other way too).  As has been mentioned before,
the traffic seems to warrant a newsgroup.  Why not make an alt.power-glove (we
can vote on a decent name if need be), and also mirror it to the mailing list,
so that non alt sites can get at the info too.  Can this relaying from list
to newsgroup be done anywhere or does it have to be done at the site where
the mailing list is done from??  If not, and this software works with NNTP,
without needing news admin, etc. stuff, then I guess I'm willing to run it
here.  Getting all this stuff in mail is a bit of a pain, when it seems to be
more newsgroup related.  Any comments??
