I find trying to get around with crutches or with a cane to be extremely difficult for me. I'm always kicking the cane by mistake and tripping over it. Crutches get caught under things and they make my arms ache. Fortunately, my legs work fine for me so I don't need crutches or a cane to get around. But I don't consider the cane or the crutches broken just because they don't work for me. And for some people, they are a necessity. It's the same thing with the different settings in setup. You shouldn't assume something is broken just because you haven't figured out a way to make it work for you. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
