Re: [Thinkpad] Looking for a 560z

I am able to use the bottom reading lenses of my bifocals, but I do keep
them on the weak side - If I followed my Opthomologist's preferred
prescription, I would be getting nose oil on my screen!
I do recommend bifocals with lines, not the other type, which give a very
small reading area. With my glasses, I can see the entire screen properly
from about 16-18"
