Alright, people get nervous when they don't hear something right away coming back at them. So let me tell you who I got so far. I got Bentley, VE3FBX. I got Daryl, BO1UKZ. We got Kevin, who you just heard, VA3KKY. And we got KE2GSRSantos. Wow, I'm glad you're back, man. That's really cool. Tell you what, let's go to Daryl first. Daryl, how's your day going? This is, oh, wait a second. What? I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to the bathroom. Wait a second. Wait a second. I got a piece of news, and you'd be interested. This isn't your specific condition, but it means they're making progress. Some scientists in France have come up with an artificial retina, and right now it's aimed at macular degeneration. But it is the size of a pinhead. It mounts in the middle of your retina, and it's as thin as plastic wrap. What we know so far is that 27 of the 35 people it's been tried on could all read again. In other words, they went up four lines on the eye chart. It's pretty successful, and it's pretty amazing. Many of us have macular degeneration. Some of us have lost our vision due to that, so there may be hope out there for you. It also involves special glasses, which have cameras in them, and they transfer the images they see into infrared light and then shine it on this artificial retina. It's pretty cool. Anyway, there you go, Daryl. When I was reading that, I was thinking about you. They haven't replaced the optic nerve yet, but can that be far behind? VL1 UKZ, how is your day going? This is Casey 2, PKG.
