He used the device a lot, and seemed to like it. If he weren't in Montana this week, I'd ask him for his present feelings about it. I found the device quite uncomfortable to my back. Lower back generally started aching after only an hour or so. Nobody else among the 4-5 people on that system used it more than once or twice. Anybody else have experience? Is this gadget less orthopedic than advertised, or do different people have different backs? "...gonna be a dennil floss tycoon" -- Dr Memory ...{decvax,ucbvax,ihnp4}!decwrl!qubix!jdb
