First, let me agree with those who expressed their annoyance at the repeated appearence of this posting. Second, I decided to give the benefit of the doubt to the poor soul who may be going blind as we speak! this topic was discussed some time ago, in fact shortly after Mac SE's and II's hit the stores. The suggestion was made back then, by someone who seemed to know, that prolonged use of the screens occurred by virtue of the graphical user interface; i.e. one can manipulate screen information without ones eyes ever leaving the screen (mouse etc.). Such prolonged use sharply reduces the blink rate, allowing the surface of the cornea to effectively dry out, giving rise to most of the symptoms described; soreness grittiness etc. Believe it, or not. Cheers, paul. -- UUCP: ...!ihnp4!gargoyle!sphinx!pgil, BITNET: pgil@sphinx.UChicago.edu Analogue: (312) 702-6971 VOICE: Hullo, um, is Paul there? Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
