  2. Hello denis fitt,

    Perhaps you can post those “..so many things i cannot do without difficulty” in a forum. I’m sure if someone is knowledgeable on a subject, they could possibly help you out, thus helping others out maybe. Maybe it will be a subject for an article. Who knows?

    Take care,
    Huy
