One good thing tho, at least they didn't decide to put dark blue text with a black background. There are sites that do that. I guess they want the old farts like us to go away. lol It generally works too. I wouldn't expect a quick fix but maybe it will be something that they can work on over time. I don't think there is a lot of people that do doc work. It does need to be brought to their attention tho. If they don't know it is a problem for some of us, they certainly won't work on it then. Post a link when you file it. Dale :-) :-)
