Arrgh... Why does everyone insist on bright backgrounds? A
CRT is not a piece of paper, it's an illuminated display, bright
backgrounds just mean that everyone has to squint to read it... The
text is what is important, it should call attention to itself...the
background should be just that, in the BACKGROUND, minding it's own
business.
