'Spaw -- don't let anyone kid you....NO ONE understands computers....and most computer techies will be the first to admit it....

I've never been diagnosed dyslexic -- (the terms been around since the early 60's at least as that is when I learned it- from being tested for it) but have something they tell me is called "disparate focus" It seems my eyes automatically focus at different distances; and I have to use a conscious effort to get them to focus together, or else my vision blurs into surruelistic color blotches - throw in the nearsightedness and terrible astigmatism and I never knew trees actually had individual leaves until I was in 5th grade! And I was convinced that constellations were a world-wide conspiracy to make me look stupid.
