Bert, I'm sorry you're having problems with your eyes. Here's something that might make it easier for you to see your messages. I see you're on AOL. If you go to the tool bar (just below the subject line), you can change the font, or change the size , or make the letters bold, or change the color of the background or letters. I have a friend who's legally blind from diabetes, and he finds that on AOL a yellow background with blue text is easier on his eyes.

You can make these changes permanent, I think in the Settings area of your Menu bar. You may find that larger or bolder letters, or a different background or text color could be easier for you to read than if you used capitals. I've done a fair amount of work in graphics, and the rule of thumb is that capitals are considerably more difficult to read quickly!

However, you should do as you please on all this, of course. The goal is to make your life easier.

This is Arial font, 12 point.

This is Arial Font Bold.

This is Yellow Background, black text.

This is yellow background, blue text, bold.

Have fun experimenting!

Here's an example

THANKS HARPER.....YES I HAVE BEEN EXPERIMENTING QUITE A LOT WITH THE AOL SETTINGS.....I WOULD JUST USE ALL LOWER CAPS, BUT THEN I HAVE TO SET THE FONT FOR 14 POINT OR EVEN HIGHER...

I WILL DO MORE EXPERIMENTING.......AS I LIKE TO CHANGE THINGS ONCE IN A WHILE ANYWAYS!!!!

SO GLAD YOU HAD A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE TONIGHT!!!!

BERT.

**HAPPY**HOLIDAYS**
