Ed, really sorry to hear about your son - is he in the children's hospital
in Matsumoto?  Sumo. jnr had to have an operation there when he was 6 weeks
old (pyloric stenosis).  Our personal experience of the place was very good.
The care was excellent, nurses kind yet at all times professional, great
doctors - all of them with people skills (a minor miracle in Japan).

BTW there are quite a few Mac bittorrent files over at supernova - use this
site http://www.torrentlinks.com/ to navigate there.
This site is also pretty good http://mac.torrentskickass.com/index.html but
you need to register (free) to access the goodies.
