Photosensitivity-computer system, etc.

[Guest guest]

For people who are

photosensitive, this

is a description of

the best system I have

found, and have been

using since 1998.

Computer system with

television output.

Windows 98 and Windows XP

are the two operating

systems I have used.

Lowest resolution setting,

which is 800x600 in Windows XP.

60 hertz refresh rate.

Old Sony 27 inch Trinitron,

with contrast set at lowest

level, and brightness just

high enough to read in a

dark room. (This is the most

important part of the system,

in my opinion and experience.)

Windows Magnifier to read

smallest print and icons.

..

High contrast black setting

when practical.

Arial black font as large

as practical, in red or gray.

Most importantly, an awareness

of the incredibly complex and

poorly understood effects of

too much light in my eyes,

which to some extent I have

been aware of for over 35 years,

when I had my first disabling

CFS crash in 1970 at age 16.

This awareness allows for the necessary

limitations of time on the computer.

I wish I had understood it sooner.

It is said that it is easy to be humble

when you have a lot to be humble about.

This may be the most humbling experience

of greater knowledge and understanding

that I will ever have in my life.

I just wish I knew how to help

everyone understand it.

Sorry-I'll keep working on it.
