I just dug out my reading glasses. I think maybe I should have been computing this way for a while now...The downside is I really need to move the monitors a little closer and I don't think the mount can do that.

@SetecAstronomy Hmm I farsighted, and I know that my farsightedness doesn't get less with glasses... What you talking about Willis?

This will certainly encourage me to stop slouching in the chair, they're too far away for that.

@Mnemonic Yeah, I can see great at a distance, it's the up close and personal that's not so good. At the moment, my monitors are arranged to be just on the outer edge of the focal area for my reading glasses. I think as long as I sit up straight it shouldn't be an issue. Leaning back and stroking a cat while laughing maniacally, that I'll need minions for.

@ella_kane Eh, for the keyboard that wouldn't be an issue so much, but I have to hang my arm off the desk when I mouse. Trying to do it with my forearms on the desk just wouldn't work for me.

@Mnemonic Ergonomics are always a delicate balance. Too many conflicting priorities. I'll keep beating on this issue until I figure something out that works.

@ella_kane I had done that and forgotten and went "Wow these glasses are amazing" before I eventually figured it out.

@SetecAstronomy well, do it again, then! And get a new prescription? Sounds like you need it...

@Mnemonic @SetecAstronomy I meant using the zoom feature browsers have, not to put your face next to the screen xD

@ella_kane @Mnemonic I know exactly what you're trying to do. You want me to go out and buy some bigger monitors and a nicer stand and then "lend" you the old stuff. I'm on to you.
