Also, the screen I wanted was made by Polaroid. It reduced glare, UV rays, etc. and was VERY nice but for $150.00 I should hope so. Afterwards, I went to my father's optometrist and spoke to him about glasses to reduce glare, UV rays, etc. He asked me what color screen I work on and what kind of lighting was in the rooms where I work. My answers were a green screen and flourescent lighting. Even though I don't wear glasses, Dr. Myers said to come in, pick out frames, and then he'll make the lenses - nonprescription, UV treated and whatever else must be done to make them equivalent to the $140.00 screen. Well, I now have a pair of glasses with very light voilet tinted and UV treated lenses. I really like them and the $80.00 price tag sure beats the $140.00! They're also easier to carry around in my purse than a screen/filter. *************************************** Doris Brust University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee Computing Services Division UUCP: uwmcsd1!uwmcsd4!doris ARPA: doris@csd4.milw.wisc.edu Excellence lies not in doing one thing well but in doing everything surperbly. ***************************************
