[gui-talk] Basic inquiry about Mac, including the laptops

[Joel Deutsch]

Les,

You see both of them less and less? By that, and I'm sorry if this is a 
difficult thing to talk about but I honestly don't understand, when you say 
you see them both less and less, do you mean you're partially sighted, 
you've been relying at least somewhat on catching sight of the screen, and 
that recently, for some reason, your vision has decline noticeably so that 
you can see the screen of either computer, or the screen of any computer, 
less and less,? More and more blind, I mean?
Sorry, but sincere.
