One alarmist's view can HARDLY be called "honest and impartial", sidd.

What about _The Skeptical Environmentalist_ by Bjorn Lomborg? It was written about a Greenpeacer who gained enough knowledge to start questioning The Litany.

Which, I'm sure, are right next to your Bible.

Thanks, Rich

As opposed to your vast collection of coloring books?

Don't you have a printer?

BTW: I caught a wheeled laptop desk for your bed for $20 at a Walgreen's sale recently. I am going to make an adjustable bracket to use the NEMA mount on a spare LCD monitor, then use a regular keyboard and mouse while laying down on my hospital bed to elevate my swollen legs. I hate just laying there, doing nothing but stare at the ceiling, but some days I have no choice.

I enjoy reading the older Sci-Fi, up to the '80s. The monitor allows me to select the font size I want. The last book I borrowed from the library was set in a small font, so i had to use my flatbed scanner and computer to read it.

You've seen what Video Eye has to offer haven't you?

They have an ad in virtually every issue of AARP magazine. A bit overpriced maybe, but might give you some ideas on making one yourself.
