Greetings, Lensman!
FWIW, I sell disposable contact lenses. :)

Hi Thomas,

Sorry I didn't reply earlier - I've either been too sick (with the flu) or
too busy at work.

I've been reading a lot of old "Astounding" mags from the 1950s recently.
Now I'll have to reread all those Lensman stories again. :) The first time
was more than 30 years ago, so I'm sure I've forgotten heaps.

To render a Lensman's Lens would be fun... I guess it will take media and
animation to do it properly. I just did a quick Google Image search, & it
doesn't look like anyone's tried to do one yet...

Also, it'd be fun to do a Doc Smith style space battle, but I doubt I have
the memory for thousands of space ships arranged in concentric spheres.
