From article <1992Apr7.160615.24109@tsltor.uucp>, by briant@tsltor.uucp (Brian Taylor):
= My eyes go buggy on my Wyse-185 at work, whereas on my VGA at home there
= is no eye fatigue that I recognize (I spend about half my time working
= from home and the other half in front of the Wyse at work). Sure, a Wyse 370
= prevents that, but now we're easily into the price range of a very decent
= 286/VGA system or better.

...

= Different strokes for different folks. Exactly the opposite thing happens
= to me ... the 185 gives me nasty headaches, whereas my VGA monitor bugs me
= not at all.

Brian, this is interesting. I forgot to tell i wear glasses.
Maybe this makes the difference?

But, the monitor also might be the cause of my headaches.
The 100$ b&w Philips hercules is almost no eye-fatigue compared to the
compaq colour vga. 
Uhm. Also the 30$ taiwan keyboard is better than the compaq's.
I suspect the compaq quality at this point. What monitor are you
using?

Regards, Paolo
