My Mom has Parkinsons and a Wii. I'll go challenge her to a game of bowling tonight.

This made me snort so hard the lady in the office next to mine came and checked on me.

It kind of makes sense, computers don't loose patience with someone or have a time slot to keep to. It'll sit there waiting quite happily for the patient to come back to it. The person using it won't be putting on a brave face and pushing beyond their capabilities either because we understand the computer doesn't give a crap and it really won't sleep with you.

So I'm not that surprised that special software can help people with Parkinsons.

I hear this software is a little lacking in stability...

Joke all you like, but their APM put even Korea's greatest Starcraft player to shame. Tournament players should count themselves lucky none of them have decided to sign up.

My mother in law has that shiat, we rented a beach house with my wifes family and my sister in law was looking through the board games and holds up "Operation" and says you ready to play mom... LOL.
