Daniel,

Thanks for your explanation of what your vision is like. Yes when you lose 
macular function you wouldn't have any useful central vision. Many people I 
run into have had retinal problems all their lives and I find it interesting 
they often times see better at an angle instead of straight on. With some 
people I know, their retina got twisted when they were born so that in order 
for them to even look "straight ahead" they must actually turn their head as 
if they are looking away from you and at something else. Of course there are 
other complicatiosn of that type of vision but it helps us to understand 
that not everyone with vision sees straight-on. I am lucky that I can read 
both peripherally and centrally, and considering I was born with congenital 
cataracts (from German measles), and considering I am in a constantn fight 
to keep my ocular pressure down so that I don't suffer the effects of 
glaucoma, I'm one heck of a lucky camper. Still, I try to keep myself aware 
of how others see or don't see the screen. In some cases like yours, Magic, 
a large print screen reader, probably would not help you, but for some 
partials like myself it's a great tool. At least we can count on JAWS!

Bill
