I'm not sure if you realize that you aren't making any sense.
1. You stated that eyestrain is a myth, therefore that there doesn't exist even one person in the world who experiences it.
That is not what I said. But you admitted to not reading everything here before... so... Until you do it might be better to stop making claims about what I said and just move on.

I never said eyestrain was a myth. I said LCD eyestrain is a myth. Eyestrain is caused by any reading you do - even paper. What about the people in this thread that say it doesn't bother them? I never discounted the people in this thread - that is your misunderstanding. I discount people that say LCD damages their eyes. I discount when people claim everyone that reads on eink will only buy eink devices if given a choice. If you had bothered to read my post clearly, and not get "amused," perhaps you could have comprehended that.

Your opinion that it's a myth would require everyone not to be strained when reading from LCD, and that's clearly not the case.
(by the way, I'm a programmer as well. C/C++/asm/game programming. Nevermind.)
I've actually programmed in all of the above languages. I don't do any game programming now though. That market is too volatile. I have a few good friends that work at Valve software doing AI programming. Used to do that around the late 90s and early 2000s, but I found the medical industry paid more.

Really now? Aren't you the one that said my post was bullshit? Called me a talking head? I would say those are pretty personal comments. I was actually amused until you replied to my reply of your first post. I'm not amused anymore either.

You asked me to prove my contradictions - I answered that. Can we get back to the topic at hand now and not your personal attacks?

I read it, but it wasn't clear. Besides, the snippet you just chopped out wasn't directed at you. It was directed at other people who use LCD to read - which clearly you are not part of. Perhaps if you spent less time telling people their posts were bullshit and they were talking heads you might comprehend what each post says better than you seem to.
