Did you see this problem before you bought your iMac? Is it better or worse at different screen resolutions? I'm running OS X (occasionally) on my TiBook, and I don't have any problem with fuzzy/blurred text -- except for a few really atrocious fonts. Silk really helps things when running Carbon apps. Does this problem exist when you run OS 9, which might indicate a hardware problem, or only under OS X? If the problem were specifically with OS X, you'd think the world would be up in arms. Instead, most X users seem quite happy with the way text is rendered on their displays, whether laptops or desktop machines. -- Dan Knight, president, Cobweb Publishing, Inc. <http://cobwebpublishing.com> <http://lowendmac.com> <http://digital-views.com> <http://digigraphica.com> <http://lowendpc.com> <http://reformed.net> "You can't brew a premium lager with a kool-aid mentality." -- The Red Green Show -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
