Jschoen and Kate: It sounds like maybe your monitor is sub-standard. What size is your monitor? What is the dot pitch? What resolution are you running it? I running 1024x768 on a 17" and it looks great to me. A little small, but very readable and neat. Most people I know with Macs have puny screens, could this be the case here? Although most people doing render work on Macs have decent monitors, so I would be surprised. Curious. Is your res cranked up? -Tim
