Dunno if he's an Opera user, but Opera 6.05 and lower highlights with negative color of the text highlighted on a black background. I don't know about y'all but for me, black on a black bacground is even harder to read than white on a gray background.

And all this blue shit gives me a headache. I'd much prefer bold green or bold purple .

What's wrong with blue? It's very soothing. It's yellow that makes my eyes wiggle.

well, Juan, dear,i tend to use blue-- out of pure laziness... redseems to shout, and green and purple each have 5 letters...red would be logical first choice color, but, blue is softer, and less strident.... yellowand whitehave there uses...

I agree with tsuwm. If you preface what you are about to write with [Alert - dah, dah, dah] I can schoose not to read it.
Or use another colour, by all means, but don't use white - which isn't a colour at all, of course. But it needs to be readable without further effort.
I use IE, not Opera or Netscape, and I have no plans to try some other browser which will inevitably either have as many problems or fewer useful features. Or both, of course. A lot of people think I'm crazy. And I quite often get hammered for not using Pegasus Mail, which was developed by a colleague of mine at Otago University. It's like water off a duck's back these days.

fewer useful featuresExplorer doesn't have tabs. Opera and Netscape both have tabs. That, in itself, is a great reason to switch. If you don't know what "tabs" are, you haven't lived. They're the greatest thing since sliced bread. Also, Opera appears to be faster, but it's hard to tell since speed is affected by so many other, non-browser related things.
