- Uhhhh... How was it, again, that *you* defined peripheral vision? Seems

- peripheral vision. I don't see anything in your definition or the
- dictionary's that says you can't move your eyes away from pointing directly
- forward.
-
- Even I agree that I can't point my eyes *directly* at the edges of
- my viewport. So... By yours AND the dictionary definition, it seems to
- me that my "peripheral vision" is how I am perceiving the edges of my
- viewport.
-
- So, again, how does this figure into your idea of peripheral vision?
-
- |Bruce "why did I get involved in this silly thread"
-
- Beats me, especially since it seems that you are contradicting yourself...
