Grow strong my friend … that you may stand
Unshaken when I fall; that I may know
The shattered fragments of my song will come
At last to finer melody in you;
That I may tell my heart that you begin
Where passing I leave off, and fathom more.

- Adapted from Will Durant.

Happy Independence Day!

You are asking the wrong guy, Azim. There should be references to some tools available on MSDN; however, I couldn’t find any.

Comment on Ask: Do CRT monitors cause headaches? by ayaz

Many thanks for the comments, Loki (charming as ever ;).

It is easier to be ignorant of or to overlook the long-term harmful effects of using a computer for long periods on a daily basis without taking the established precautions. I already have a bit of dead skin accumulating at the end of the wrist of the hand I use to control the mouse. I do take precautions from time to time, as I do against staring at a computer screen for long periods, but sometimes, it is just too difficult to not be lazy. :)

hello Ayaz,

Like you I have myopia (and thanks to my roaring fifties a coming I now
also have tired eyes ;-).
Like you I’m a kind of a geek, it’s about to be my 27th year of using a
CRT for IT (I was one of the first in my country to trade the paper tty
for a CRT :-)
And, like you I’ve had headaches, sore eyes, dry eyes, say a word and
I probably’ve had it ;D) The worse symptom was certainly the fear of open
spaces but that one is not directly related to CRTs but globally to
watch any type of screen too long without any pause to look at
many different distances from your chair.
Anyway, as for CRTs I can certify that the quality of life for my eyes
was greatly enhanced by the use of TFTs, I only wish I’ve had been as
sensible for my wrists ,-(
