This article definitely made me stop and think; my grandfather passed a couple months ago, and suffered from AMD for the last couple years of his life.
He had always been a fan of crosswords, and for a while my mother had been bringing over hand-copied crossword puzzles that she had enlarged to a point where he could see them. He also was having a hard time being able to see his watch anymore, but his hearing was too hard for him to make out what came out of those "talking" watches.
We had gotten him a 47" HDTV a year ago, and for a long time he was overjoyed by how much more of it he could see. I never would've thought to connect a Flip camcorder to his TV and see if it helped him read much, put his arm under it to see the watch, or work a crossword puzzle.

Impressive!
