Yup, I got computer glasses last year. Very worthwhile.

Just got new reading glasses.

I had my eyes lasered in 15 years ago to remove my myopic glasses, so far I still have the 105% I got back after the operation...
I will very, very probably (almost for sure) end having glasses for near distances (PC, read and so on) but I will embrace them after all these years without wearing anything else but sunglasses at will.

Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Same here, I had an 18-year run before needing glasses again. In my case, arm's length didn't do the job so had them redone so the focal point (if that's what it's called) is further away. They're okay for reading something on printed paper, help a bit for the computer, but make things worse for things that are farther away.
I'm guessing I need a separate pair for distance, as that is also not as great as it used to be.

Varifocals. Best of all worlds, provided you don't have to do close up work above your head ...
I used to have three pairs: walk-about, reading, computer - but I was forever wearing the wrong ones, and when driving I could see road signs clearly, but not the instruments. Varifocals fixed both of those problems.

I have been wearing varifocals for years, so I can see close up, computer screen and distance without difficulty. i do have a pair of reading glasses for reading in bed, as my eyes are usually tired by then.

Good show. I had cataracts removed. Installed close up lens for left eye, distance lens for right eye. (no lenses for other eyes).
Wear glasses for driving car (distance lens for left eye, plain for right. Do have computer glasses but don't use them all that much.
Glasses free 90% of the time. Life is good.

I like glasses, but with my eye sight, they are becoming a burden (even with really thin lenses $$$ ).
I am/was planning to get my eyes "lasered" (actually, not lasered but something akin to cataract surgery), but something else came out.
Maybe next year.

Haha, I am just about stuck in a loop on YouTube now, because after that video played the following one auto-started & I could not turn it off. You just can't stop that song. It's so compelling.

OT - Did you ever get your Apple Watch battery issues resolved?

thanks for asking.
It does seem to be resolved.
I play music from my iphone all day long (via spotify or pandora).
Even though neither of those apps is on my watch, the watch would obtain the current playing song info and display it when my watch became active.
I had to find the setting to turn that off and I found this article: How To Turn Off Apple Watch Now Playing Music Controls - iOS Hacker[^]
However, that is for an older apple watch, but I was able to get it turned off on mine.
The battery lasts about 2 days now. Thanks,

Awesome thanks for the link.

I've been a huge fan of there's for more years than I care to admit.

Quite a prolific guy. I have the first two or three albums, so it was interesting to hear this. The write-up said prog, symphonic, and rock. I'm a prog fan but didn't hear much serious prog in this. The title puzzled me, but the Largo cover finally showed up on the second last track. And then concluded with a great cover of Be My Baby, which also fits the title.

For a blast from his past, check out : Alan live in Madrid from 2004[^]. It is a really good show.

Finally had a chance to finish my first listening. Going back for seconds!!! Fantastic show!
Since no one has mentioned it, one of my all-time favorite AP tracks, even better than their new stuff: Alan Parsons Project - Lucifer
