Thanks! It's not as tidy as if I'd restuffed the cans and cardboard tubes, but there's a lot of room under that chassis for a lot of stuff.

I've been wearing specs since I was about 10 or earlier, but I used to be able to focus close up still wearing them. Over the last few years, that ability has just about disappeared. I've always been heavily "near sighted". Now, with my glasses on, I can see clearly from about a foot away to out as far out as I want, but things get blurry close up. I take my glasses off, and I can see crystal clear from about two inches out to about 6 inches out. There's an area between the 6 inch and one foot mark where I can't see ANYTHING clearly, with or without glasses, and that's where bifocals would come in.. call it vanity, but I'm resisting "old people glasses" as long as I possibly can!
