   I was reading your text in green on black until on a whim I changed the   
   green to blue. Anyway, I always hated the white backround. It was forced   
   on me by Windows as I could never find a satisfactory way around it. But   
   the 'paper' colour was dazzling, and in the early days VDUs were at   
   50-60hz and I could see the flashing.   
      
   Maybe it depends on eye colour.   
      
   Blue is easier to see with reading glasses which are less strong.
