   Hallo Andrew!   
      
     MK>> senior's moments are noticeably on the increase.  :-/   
      
    AA> Ah.. Benjamin Button's syndrome? ;)   
      
   Heh, heh.  Without knowing for sure I believe I am more or less average for my   
   age regarding frequency of senior's moments ... and yes I am officially in the   
   realm of seniors (65 and over).   
      
    AA> I had cataract surgery in my right eye on Oct 2 and my left is   
    AA> scheduled for the 16th. Surgery went well, very smooth, no   
    AA> problems. My distance vision in my right eye is darn near perfect.   
      
   Good to hear.  I don't have cataracts but my vision started going south in my   
   late 40's.  Before that I had 20/20 vision in both eyes, as well as excellent   
   peripheral and night vision.  The peripheral vision is still good but   
   everything else is nowhere as good as it used to be.  Mind you I could say the   
   same about everything as time goes by.   
      
    AA> I got some OTC reading glasses   
      
   I can relate.  Also I am using kbd's LatGrkCyr-12x22 consolefont so I can read   
   these msgs without glasses.  Works like a charm.  Everything else I definetly   
   need glasses.  :::sigh:::   
      
    AA> How are things on your end?   
      
   At the moment I am doing okay all things considered.  However some extra cash   
   for an epyc server wouldn't hurt my feelings any.  I see a supermicro one that   
   has caught my eye but my bank account says it is a no-go.  Stinkin' banks.
