Being colorblind and surfing the net can be a real pain in the neck sometimes. So many designers choose background and text colors that are difficult for me to read. So I have two tricks that help me view their pages: First, I use Ctrl-A to select all. (On a Mac, Cmd-A) Reversing the text by highlighting it usually helps. I keep my highlight colors very light -- usually white or yellow on purpose. If not, there's always the old fall-back of copying and pasting the entire page into a text reader like MSWord, then selecting everything and changing the color to black on a white background. I do this often enough that I designed a one-click macro for the process on my home computer. The other option is one I don't use: Configure your printer to print without the background (or graphics). You'll just get formatted text. Wastes lots of paper, which is why I don't do that! There's my unsolicited 2 cents. Anybody else have this problem or an innovative solution to share? Jon
