Tip for those using Windows XP

I just read this tip on Windows XP to change the text style to something easier to read.

I have a new LCD monitor (my old vintage-1997 monitor was getting pretty rough), and this looks really good on it.

• Right click on the Desktop
• Choose Properties
• Select the Appearance tab
• Open the Effects dialog
• Choose ClearType in the 2nd dropdown box

This gives the text a smooth feel. It is not the default in XP (though it is the default on the Mac).
