Gah, my eyes are swimming. I've just been trying to read this page. I now have a major headache brewing and there are swimmy white blotches in front of my eyes. Yet I'm sure I read somewhere that white on black was meant to be better for the eyes than black on white, on a screen. Do you find black on white, or white on black, or some other concoction, easiest to read?

White on black is just mean. When I was a trainer they said yellow on purple was best but I didn't believe them - give me black on white or cream any day. Mmm, cream - time for breakfast...

I remember a friend at school who is dyslexic telling me that the best thing for him was overlaying a page with yellow acetate.
