 	(This is to answer a question that has been in my head for a while)
Has anyone done or seen any research on what color CRT screen is better for 
prolonged periods?
	I suspect that it is a 'white' CRT with  inverse  video  (ie  black 
lettering  on  a  white background) since it most closely resembles printed 
text, which we have been exposed to since Day One.  (See the  advertisement 
in the August "Computer Design" by Ball Corp. to see how nice black type on 
white can look...)

	Perhaps we can arrive on a consensus...
