I wonder why they say/think that?! They certainly weren't taking baby boomers into account when they came up with such nonsense. As discussed previously on this list, some of us wear glasses with progressive lenses and have to use the portion of the lens that is near the bottom to put close to mid-range objects into focus. I use the glasses to clearly see notes on my lap, a tv monitor 3 feet away and action taking place 20 feet away almost simultaneously at work and have therefore developed severe neck problems because the monitor is inevitably (and uncontrollably)above my eyeline. At home, I use reading glasses with my computer so that I can keep my neck straight! Looking down at a monitor sounds like a great idea. :-) Tannis ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
