Dark backgrounds with light text is so much easier on
the eyes....

IANA opthamologist (nor am I sure I can spell it
right, or even if it's the right word), but its a lot
easier to look at light text on dark backgrounds. If I
had to guess, I'd say we read black ink on white paper
because white ink that didn't soak in/disappear into
black paper was too expensive or difficult to
make...and since that's the way it's always been,
people think that black text on white background is
the way its supposed to be. 

Anyways, I liked the gray background, but i'll be just
as happy with any light text on darker background.
That's my vote.

Adam
