 Seems nice. But I won't use it unless I can easily switch between the
actual feature of eye focus, and the enhanced feature of zooming :)

  Is the brain so plastic?

   For the moment, I would much more easily use glasses with a special
vision set into a corner of it. Plus a mike set into one of my hears,
and a mike in the top of my tie or shirt connected to a portable
phone. We could then contact each other as well as contact our vocal
computer. That gets us nearer to telepathy. (Note: the hackers and
crackers of the system will just be telepaths with a bigger thelepatic
ability .)

    Manu.
