Hi Ross, thanks for the willingness to put up with our questions. I can't imagine how frustrating relearning tech must have been, but I'm glad you've found a way to stay online :)

(That actually makes me wonder, how does your software handle someone putting a text emote like a smiley face? Anyway back to the initial questions.)

How was your sense of taste affected by the loss of smell?

Also, I know there are experimental surgeries that can restore some sense of sight to those with damaged optical nerves that involve mounting an electrode to the surface of the visual cortex, or even a direct brain implant.

For example, the Orion I is supposed to be undergoing human trials in 2017:

Would you be interested in something along those lines? If it were possible to restore some measure of sight, what type of risks would you be willing to take?
