It was >the burgundy sport frame. It will really impress the babes. Update: I got the Loupe. Shiny new out of the box, they seem okay. The focus is a little too far now, but with reading glasses it's better. It's best with this Discover Channel lighted magnifier I have. By adjusting that, I can put the focus at a comfortable distance and still have room to work underneath it. I guess you could do the same thing with one of those third hand magnifiers. Thanks for the help.
