There's always a pay-off with research, even if it's not flashy. I just hate that we've been stalled for 25 years. The shuttle was never an end to itself.
I currently have progressives, and while I can tell the difference between top and bottom, the middle range is fine for the computer.
Then again, with some difficulty, I can use the computer without glasses at all, and I often read that way. I got the progressives when I couldn't thread a needle unless I took my glasses off and closed my right eye, so I barely need them. I suspect that will change and that computer glasses are in my future.
When it comes to writing - at Rutgers in the early 80s, no one could test out of Expository Writing. If you got above a certain level (I think it was 600 on the SATs), you were placed in 191 instead of 101, but you took it.
Even if you were going to the Engineering school. :)
