Yup, Geoff. The prices are crazy ... maybe one of the reasons this Scotsman was so determined to get used to his. Funny thing is that I'd taken my wife to the optician's for reading glasses. I thought my eyesight was 20-20 perfect, but the doc decided I should have a test anyway. Seems I was nearly as blind as a bat and that the deterioration had crept up so slowly, I just never noticed (I'd been using those five-dollar magnifying specs from the local garage for reading, which probably hadn't helped). My wife's specs cost about a quarter of the price of mine. Mind you, there was a two-for-the-price-of-one deal running, so I also got a pretty snazzy pair of prescription sun-glasses that folks say make me look like the late Aga Khan. Hoots. Neil
