Eric, for god's sake, you don't want to put those UV bulbs where you're
more likely to look into them -- unless you're wearing really good UV
goggles. That's on my mind today, having just come from some level 2 eye
tests -- suprise, all is digital now -- you see the inside of your eyeball
on a monitor instantly and it's just as instantly printed out in full dyed
color (archival? I can't say).
I'd just read a report on macular degeneration, & thinking I was in
proximity of an expert, asked what causes it. Aside from heredity, answer
was eat right, take your vitamins (duh !), and keep out of UV light. If
you're a candidate (and do you know who you are?), always wear sunglasses
in sunlight. And (he didn't add) don't look at your UV fluorescents.
