- Funny, I find that running Windows in normal LCD mode (black text
- on white background) looks reversed: for example, Microsoft Word
- will give you white characters on black background. So every time
- I run Windows I first reverse the LCD to white-on-black mode (the
- same mode one finds on CRT displays).

- And I too heard someone mention that Windows in the normal mode
- puts extensive wear on the screen. But why?
