In my version of the Apple Guy vs PC Guy make a movie, I wish the pretty girl would go away with the "PC Guy" and the "Apple Guy" would be strangely attracted to the PC Guy's girl. And where is the bit where the "Apple Guy" is actually the one giving the "PC Guy" the virus, in the form of a corrupted iPod included disc? LGM

I appologise for the generalization... However, I will stick by my guns, in the 15 to 20 minutes that you sit in the dark with a regular Optometrist (in Australia, they are usually attached to places that make and fit your glasses), the matter of other health concerns has never come up. In most cases, I have received more advice from my dentist about "other" health matters.

I not saying that this is true in all situations, but an Optometrist to a larger degree is there to sell you glasses. On the other hand, an optomogolist is usually there to find the underlying problem with you eyes. So they are usually likely to diagnose problems that may be causing your blindness (remember that diabeties does cause vision problems). I also took a stab and went to see one, and the optomogolist found problems that after years of changing prescriptions for various glasses and contacts was corrected via believe or not a simple change of diet.

True, but why should there be another state apart from Option Explicit? As long as we cater for fools, could we end up looking like the sheep we are sheparding? :doh:
