Monitors for People with Poor Eyesight?

tuxbeej writes "Just recently I've been told that I may be developing keratoconus, a non-inflammatory eye condition in which the normally round dome-shaped cornea progressively thins causing a cone-like bulge to develop (thanks, NKCF!). As a result, my eyesight will get worse and it's getting harder to see on a 15" monitor. Being 22 years old and studying MIS, I've been hoping to keep my eyesight for a long, long time. Anyway, I was in the market for a new monitor and I was curious to know if anyone has done shopping for a monitor intended for someone with bad eyesight? Are there any recommended sizes, features, brands? It seems like a generic question, but I'm curious to know if certain technologies have any advantages over another or if there is a site out there that handles info like this." We had an older article about CRT's vs. LCD's.

Sad News... Queen Mother Dead, Age 101

[Lethyos]

I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Elizabeth, Queen of England was found dead in her Windsor lodge this afternoon. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss her - even if you didn't enjoy her politics, there's no denying her contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

I entirely agree with you about subway's new cut. ALthough the wonderful thing is that most of the time they'll do the old cut if you ask for it. Although I have to think that at some point we'll have run out of Subway staff members who remember the old cut and then what shall we do?

I remember one time, my Dad caught me behind the barn doing something I shouldn't. He told me, "Son, if you keep doing that, you're gonna go blind."
So I said, "Dad, I'm over here!"
