heyas; well, a gif would work better for greyscale ;) i can see the grey text okay. hmm, now i can see the white text, but not black. bummer. and i can see 19 1/2 bars on bt's scale... i think i'm doing pretty good. ;) hmmm... should that be 'if you can't see it in black, monitor brightness is too LOW'? ;) i turned up the brightness 'til i could see the words in the black, but that makes the black background of the page lighter than the black in your image. i rather insist on the black of 'empty' space being as black as it can be. ah well.
