Techincal Tip for Windows Users

As standard, the fonts on Windows machines are jagged and not anti-aliased (smooth). I found this recently, which takes care of this, and smoothes the edges of all text, making everything look much nicer (XP only).

1. Right-click the desktop and select Properties
   
2. Go to Appearance tab
3. Click on Effects button
4. Select ClearType from the second pull-down menu

Some people with older screens (non-LCD) may find that it doesn't really look that good (ie: blurry). But try it out, it might make your computer usage much more pleasant!
