	When I'm working, I use Arial 13 pt.  I just find it easier to read and
work with.  The rest of the time, it's Times Roman 12 pt.  I have no
choice but to wear glasses -- even to get from one room to the other. 
No chance ever for contacts as the difference between near and far
vision, plus astigmatism in both eyes requires me to wear trifocals.
