"ackward, eh?

I am a ninety-six year old Japanese.  We Japs are not known for having good
eyesight (any WWII movie will show us wearing coke-bottle glasses).  Beyond
that, I also have a monitor at an "ackward" distance--although I'm not sure
what ackward means.

I agree with the "retired computer professional"  named "Welch" that special
reading glasses are in order.  I went to Kroger and found a stand-alone
display of reading glasses and chose a pair that gave me perfect reading
comprehension at the exact "ackward" distance of the monitor from my eyes
(30 inches give or take a few).  It worked.
