Too true Mitch. Unfortunately, most of the folk I know that used to submit a lot of bugs and suggestions have stopped doing so. There are way too many "by design" responses. And most suggestions (rather than bugs) have no response until the product is about to ship, then they come back with "c

Got eye exam, got reading gleasses, But when there is zoom do we need gleasses? If we can change the size of what we read do we really need to use reading glasses (and keep the font the same size)? It just doesn't make sense , guess this is a question for Dr Carl! I know it is not Friday Regards

I agree with Greg on this one. I've submitted bugs and enhancements which received positive responses (from Microsoft) only to be closed "Won't Fix" at the last minute. Even if they were migrated to VS-Next would have been a better option, but to have them closed with no explanation just discourage

Yes. Depending on what type of glasses you have you may still need to use your glasses regardless of the size of the font. In my case, my new glasses help my eyes focus at a specific length (approx 50-55cm). -Original Message- From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet-boun

My take on the situation: 1. Your eyes don't focus well at a particular focal distance (x). 2. Your screen is at distance x, so it is hard to read because it is not very clear due to 1. 3a. You get reading glasses so your eyes can focus at that distance or 3b. You increase the font so the reduced

You'd be surprised just how many kids can't focus properly when the focal length is relatively short. Generally one eye focus and the other one "Wanders". From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of David Connors Sent: Wednesday, 12 May 2010 03:16

I had this cool idea of applying a distortion or blur over the top of your monitor so that it corrects for astigmatism. It would mean you could sit and look at your screen all day without needing to use glasses, and without getting tired eyes. The thing with astigmatism is that you have different
