I missed my date of birth merit count. I was born in 1942, and I was going to make a joking post about the Dorian Gray effect of merit increasing making you younger. Oh well. I'll have to think of something else.

I'm becoming more and more interested in diet, and the carrots reference was a bit of a joke.  Well carrots contain lutein and beta carotein, and both are antioxidents that can improve eye health, but there is more to it than that. If you are sitting in front of a screen for long period, don't start at it solidly, but look out of a window frequently, and focus on trees and houses in the distance. Get up and walk around now and then to give yourself a break.

btw the first "computer" I worked on was an IBM 421, and that was a tabulator with a plug board.  You programmed it by plugging wires into the pug boards, and this controlled the sequence of operations, and use of accumulators and print operations. Data was stored on punched cards of course.
