Greetings and welcome to the list, Rafael.

I heard about the Parallel Pens, some time ago, and looked at them 
on Paper & Ink Arts's website. It's an interesting design and I'm 
anxious to hear your comments on them as time goes on. No talent or 
skill, whatever, at that craft; I just like to draw lines!  :-)

I feel for you on the detached retina. I have, as a fairly severe 
myopic, had 3 torn retina episodes. Luckily, they were caught early 
and were nicely laser "spot welded" by the retinologist with only 
some floaters left behind. Fully detached, though, is a much bigger 
problem.
