  Ever considered LASIK?

  It's expensive and not 100% risk-free (no surgery is), but the risks are
rather small and the results rather effective.

  I had glasses, and then LASIK. I haven't regretted it in the slightest.

I did about seven or eight years ago, I went to a pilot study that
Moorefield's Eye hospital was running. I decided against it because I
did not want to lose my short distance vision. I've reached that age
where I'm getting more longsighted and would need reading glasses for
close up work. It might not be the best thing for a jeweller IMHO

Er, yeah, RIGHT. As if there would be a lady in my bedroom! :-P

I have a fibre optic lamp, a lava lamp, two plasma balls and a lightning 
plate. Much to my irritation, I've lost the power transformer for one of 
'em...

> PS Nothing wrong with the hairstyle IMO

Hey, don't look at me. Wasn't my idea...

I've probably got one that would work. I've got a collection of bits a
pieces that I can never bring myself to throw out (just in case). Any
idea of required output and connector?

We kind of can't avoid that, since you posted a photo...

It goes with the posters, for sure.

Ah, so *that's* why it's called "the common cold"? ;-)
