Wow, Ron, you're thorough! I didn't think of breaking out my microscope! :-) I've been up for the last 21 hours and now that I think of it, just about everything is looking blurry to me... Thanks for the research, by the way. And you're right about the light. It used to be I could read anything just about anywhere. Now when someone hands me something to read, I immediately look around the room to find the brightest light nearby so I can read it! Rob McCzzzzzzzzz........

The ink doesn't look all that opaque under magnification either, but I still think the biggest deal is the stroke weight. Give us old guys some visual contrast. They don't make light the way they used to. > Ron N >
