: Now *that* looks the wrong way round.
: Honest.

: P.S. It depends on whether you focus infront or behind the screen.

Good point, I forgot that some people cross-eye instead of unfocus. I can't
cross my eyes without the image immediately beccoming blurred. It also hurts
my eyes and gives me a headache after a few seconds.

I always advise people to learn how to unfocus because their eyes are just
relaxing, so they can hold them in that position indefinitely.

If you stand about twice the normal distance from the screen you might find
it easier to unfocus, particularly if you look at what's behind the screen
first.
