However, pause for a moment and think of the rest of the environment. If you are working in the typical climate-controlled-for-computers environment, you are in a location where the humidity may be rather low. That will dry your eyes out rather quickly, especially if you wear contact lenses. That isn't to say that the ambient light and CRT glare don't contribute to the problem, but note that they might not be the only (or major) cause. -- Off the Wall of Gene Spafford The Clouds Project, School of ICS, Georgia Tech, Atlanta GA 30332 Phone: (404) 894-6169, (404) 894-6170 [messages] CSNet: Spaf @ GATech ARPA: Spaf%GATech.CSNet @ CSNet-Relay.ARPA uucp: ...!{akgua,allegra,hplabs,ihnp4,masscomp,ut-ngp}!gatech!spaf ...!{rlgvax,sb1,uf-cgrl,unmvax,ut-sally}!gatech!spaf
