- Actually the default color settings in the control panel are -almost- close
- to something readable. Apple has the 'standard' set to white text with medium
- blue, but I found white text with dark blue gives a nice look.
-
- Speaking of 80-columns text, I prefer the text display on my IIgs than to
- what's available on my (gak!) Messy-DOS machine in 80-columns text.
- Although certain characters could look better on the Apple II display.
-
- An example would be these characters --> "wmWM"
