Ferrari Mailing List: Re: One for my fellow engineers...

[Doug & Terri (dnt]

Kindle &  iPad notes.  Yikes.  I’ll Google some subject and read my iPad a bit when Terri is doing some mall shopping and I’ve gone along with her.  At the end of 20 minutes or so, I pick my eyeball, or both of them, off the floor, replace them, and wait for about 20 minutes to re-focus.  I think that’s telling me something.  Eh?

I feel your pain....

 

I keep cheap reader granny glasses all over the house and a pair dedicated to my truck.  I have safety glasses with reader inserts (like bifocals) and full lens reader safety glasses.  I even have a 1.5x reader insert for my welding helmet!!  And when I really need to work on something small (iPhone), 3 stage head loops.  My mom always said there was nothing wrong with her eyes, her arms were just too short.  She'd put a recipe card on the counter and read it from 4 feet away.   We made her a stick with a clothes pin on the end of it.

 

On the book thing...  I always go for the printed book when I can.  I just can't deal with reading for pleasure on a Kindle or iPad.

 

Yep, you're "spot on" on the telescope.  That's why they usually have a prism to do the last invert to true.
