Mary asked me to explain to the list why she writes in all capital letters. She is not yelling at us. Mary has a hereditary disease called STARGARDTS which affects the eyes much like macular degeneration (I expect a few list members have this) except Mary has had this since she was seven years old (30 years ago) and it hasn't gotten worse. In order to see, she has to read/use large, capital letters. Both of Mary's Polish parents were carriers of Stargardts and she is wondering if any other relatives, here and in Poland, also have this disease. Debbie
FYI: Most modern op sys have a accessibility setting that allows users to send in normal text size but 'see' in magnified view.
