Thx !

I thought you'd prefer the satellite - the capability on that is pretty amazing !

I have the same issue with seeing the weld. I'm 52 and just about ready to get a prescription just for welding use. With a limited range of near distance focus on my glasses I just can't ever seem to stay in the range trying to weld anything on the car. While working on the bench - most of the time I can setup and config to compensate for the vision problem, but it's still tough to stay in position around a tube or something.
