That's neat about lying it on its back. At my word processing job when I used a Wang word processor, the monitor was just built into the whole unit, so my arm got pretty tired if I had to read too much (smile).

I have it on a little table to the right of what used to be the dinette table but I don't eat at it any more because the optacon and PC keyboard and a million other things are on it. You know how that goes. <grin> Mary to view the list archives, go to: www.freelists.org/archives/optacon-l To unsubscribe at any time, just send a message to: optacon-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the message subject.
