Re: OT - television

I love the "Small Screen" idea!  However, MY Soap was missing.  I've watched
Days of Our Lives fro 20 years - gives me something to do on my lunch hour.
Looking at the computer too much hurts my eyes, TV views are much softer.
Here at work I have 2 computer screens and the brightest, nastiest, glaring
lights everywhere.  I turn my monitors off when not using them.  My eyes
tire easily.

I have seen some shows like you described, in which you can't see what's
going on. I agree, not good.  I was just taking a stab at something that
might help when I mentioned the screen adjustment.
