- just did a test on screen reading....
-
- wiht glasses on, can read it with left eye....from about 7 inches....
- on fifteen inch monitor....but the lines are wavy, sorta like a stormy
- day at see....and being that close means lots of head turning...and to read
- it with left eye, no glasses, means getting about three inches from screen,
- which means whole body moving, not just head turning....and neither one is
- very amenable to being able to type, or watching screen as type....never look
- at fingers....this wonder keyborad on the new machine has the finger bumps
- at right place, at bottom edge of keytop, not in the center, where it becomes
- a literal pain after a while....
-
- anyhoo.....i'm still here....and listeingin to new cd's...well, mostly used
- ones....and to show my usual eclectic nature....
-
- right now it is Dan Baird...who I reported on before...his 'i love you period,
- do youlove me questionmark, please please exclamation point, i want to hold
- you in parentheses'....and then mentioned that they remeinded me of the
- Georgia Satellites....which is because he is former lead singer of GS....
- according to the package.....gee, i was pretty smart, i guess......
-
- others are REM Automatic for the People
- Squeeze Classics Volume 25 (72 minutes of squeeze for 5.95 for
- a used cd is a great deal)
- Kenny Rogers and the First Edition 20 greatest hits
- Willie Nelson To Lefty From Willie
- Roger McGuinn Back from Rio
- Neil Diamond The Greatest hits, 1966-1992 (2 disks)
-
- eclectic enough?
- the old cyclops....
