I was born really nearsighted, and for all of elementary school, and most of HS, had to wear glasses with huge plastic lenses. I got contacts in 1994, and have never gone back. :) I must say, though, that after hours of staring at computer screens every day, then driving 20 miles to/from home, my eyes get pretty tired. It's always nice to be able to pull my contacts out before I go to bed...gives them a good break. PS: I also run my 15" monitor at 1152x864 with no ill effects. :) -- Lee Cremeans -- Manassas, VA, USA (WakkyMouse on DALnet and WTnet) A!
