Steve- don't keep us in stitches, plagued by severe curiousity until we can find the reference- Why *-IS-* reading slower on CRTs? You mentioned image quality improved the CRT viewing, but what is it about VDTs that is so bad? I've noticed that reading black on white on a CRT is easier for me- was this tried in the study??? (meaning, I think this is a great topic - if you remember/have the ref handy, could you post the conclusions??) thanks in advance, kevin
