My wife went in for LASIK surgery to her eyes. Basically it a laser procedure where they correct your eyes for astigmatism. They use a laser interferometer to map the surface of your eyball and them use mathematics to work out the sequence of laser blasts to ablate the eyball surface to generate good vision. The gave her a DVD of the process they did on her eyes and guess what? The whole thing is controlled by a Windoze PC. I wonder what would happen if the blue screen of death came up in the middle of a procedure;-) I noticed to that when I got my eyeballs spot welded. But I had a couple of Valums working so just bowed towards Redmond, WA and crossed my fingers. :-) I've been running my laptop almost 24/7 for about a year and a half and it has yet to crash. I hope the eye doctor was running XP. Doug -- Glenn Ashmore I'm building a 45' cutter in strip/composite.
