Rereading Commodore Hornblower by E.S. Forester starting a few nights back.

My eyesight has gone downhill tangibly since the last read not that many years ago - I could use a pt. or two bigger type to really enjoy this.

My eyesight has gone downhill tangibly since the last read not that many years ago - I could use a pt. or two bigger type to really enjoy this.

If anything, that's a benefit if one uses ebooks. Most ereader devices (or apps) can enlarge the text.

I've never tried that, and I'm a practicing miser.

HowEVER - I've got a sister who likes throwing money at tech toys and finds me hard to get for for gift occasions, so I gotta run upstairs now....

Buncle, I have the kindle app on my phone, the app is free and there are lots of free classics you can download, I definitely have the text enlarged most of the time when I'm reading on it.  I've got Kindle on my computer too though, which is awesome to have a full page and be able to type notes right next to what you're reading.

I don't cell phone, and that isn't changing.  Good to know, though.

I'm jealous, I've got personal, work, and rental phones that I get to juggle, in 10 years my hands will have turned into claws for how much I have to hold those idiot bricks.

[Buster's Uncle]

And this is why I don't and won't cell phone.

Real phones are a pain and a disruption made of some breathtakingly bad manners all too often, and even if I ever went anywhere, I'd hardly feel motivated to make it easier to bother me...

Necessary evil for me it seems, but I'm happy for you.

Mind, I've centered my life around a job where I get a lot of PMs, and you know how I feel about those and ought to recall why.

[Metaliturtle]

My wife gets PMS too, do you want some chocolate?

[Buster's Uncle]

Yes.

Yes I do.
