I don't mean to be a Luddite, but I hope the new background/foreground color schemes you used in your cover story "Inside the Mind of Microsoft" (August) are not a harbinger of future BYTE graphics. The dark-shaded text boxes were very hard to read except in perfect lighting conditions. Are you attempting to emulate certain newly arrived cyberzines? If so, please reconsider!
