    I'm not color blind; color blindness does occur in men much more often. We studied it in Genetics while I was in college--pretty interesting. However, without glasses I'm legally blind. I can't see the big E at the top of the eye chart. I'm over 20/200 with astigmatism of about -12 to -14 in my eyes. No flying for me either.:((

      Yeah, whoever completes 10 acres first wins! I prefer the non-racing, put the cruise control on, sit back half-asleep and listen to tunes type of combining.

        I am :( I can't distinguish between some shades of Red and some shades of Green. It is not extremely bad but I could not qualify to become an Air Force pilot and now I here as a programmer, as a CPian.

        Well I don't have it (that I know of), but I'll say this. I'd rather be color blind than blind. So, don't get too despressed about it, it could've been worse. Jeremy Falcon

            I am as well. Shades of Red, green and blue. It also depends on the lighting for me. IE natural light I don't have as much of a problem, but flourescent light seems to make it worse.

            Found on Bash.org [erno] hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.

                                          I have a red/green color vision deficiency - I usually get primary colors ok, but I can tell #FFFF00 from #00FF00 only when side by side, about #00A000 is definitely green though. Driving through city centers by night is a tad risky because the traffic lights don't stick out. A friend of mine is totally r/g blind. That, however, seems easier when you argue with "normal vision" people about it. If you can say "red, greeen, and all mixtures look grey", everybody is happy. But with a deficiency, you can argue for ages. I learnt a good defence, however. 15..20 minutes into the discussion, when the "normal vision" people are utterly confused or in full disbelieve mode, I ask: "Tell me how blue looks - without using color names, or pointing to something". This shuts them up :)
