Some of the texts       are hard to read for me, like e.g. grey on green (Summer), white on light grey       (Winter) or dark blue on light blue (Marine). I suppose they worked fine with       CRT screens...              Anyway, nevermind, I can live with it. Just wanted to know if I was missing       something.              :: Carlos ::              --- FMail-W32 2.0.1.4        * Origin: cyberiada point (2:341/66.3463)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 10/0 1 15/0 19/36 90/1 102/401 103/705 105/81 106/201       SEEN-BY: 116/18 120/302 331 340 123/131 140 124/5016 129/305 153/7715       SEEN-BY: 154/10 203/0 214/22 218/0 1 401 410 700 720 802 840 221/0       SEEN-BY: 222/2 226/30 227/114 229/101 424 426 550 664 700 1016 1017       SEEN-BY: 230/150 152 240/1120 5832 249/110 206 317 250/1 261/38 100       SEEN-BY: 266/512 267/155 275/100 280/464 5003 5555 282/1038 1056 291/100       SEEN-BY: 291/111 292/854 8125 301/1 310/31 317/3 320/119 219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 340/400 341/66 200 342/200 396/45 423/120 633/280 640/1321       SEEN-BY: 712/848 770/1 801/161 189 2320/105 2452/250 3634/12 5020/1042       PATH: 341/66 261/38 218/700 103/705 280/464 229/101 426           |
