Let's see if you can resist it.


Thanks a bunch.

I'll give it a shot someday when I have extra patience.

It's hard to believe that 30 something years ago I could take a Mod 28
Teletype machine completely apart, down to each individual part and then put
it back together and it would work.

Of course back then I could actually *see* what I was doing.


I was just going to say that.

Close work is not something I can do much of anymore without an
"assist".


I've got one of those big lighted magnifiers on an articulated arm,
and it works well, but it's clumsy.
Though I don't need glasses to drive, I've even considered Lasik for
the close stuff. Tired of using a magnifying glass and flashlight to
"read the fine print."
But I'm not there yet. There's just something about having somebody
cut my eyeballs that doesn't set right with me.
