	Ignoring for the fact any design details, let me explain that I am
one of approximately 3% of the population who can see the flicker on a normal
display.  This is not a big deal with white lettering on a black background
(or any color lettering on a black background), but it is mind-bogglingly
annoying whenever the background is light.
	Does anyone know of anyway to adjust the Mac to get white letters on
a black background (I can get the black desktop, but you can't do much with
black letters on a black desktop)  Otherwise, working on the Mac, which
has to be done, is plainly speaking, and for no other reason, sheer hell.
