    Some of you may be old enough to remember the original host of Jeopardy, Art Fleming. He died of pancreatic cancer. Sad coincidence.

    This way there won't be a captain to relieve when the ship runs aground or collides with another vessel. They'll just tell the operator to turn in his joystick until he gets some refresher training.

    This. I tried the magnifying stands and close-up readers, but these are very convenient, clip out of the way, and do the job well. Hardly even feel them on my head.
