Yes, that's better - to MY eyes and on MY ancient Viewsonic CRT which may have the gamma of an IBM 3270 terminal for all I know :-)

Thanks for the feedback lmckenzie.  A Viewsonic CRT???  COOL !!!  I too used to have a Viewsonic CRT in my youth, although my favorite was still my dear old Sony CRT.
