You gotta love these 20/15 guys who set default fonts for those with
similar vision. I mean how cool is it that you can get double the info
on the screen if you forsake the 20/50's among us? And while we're at
it, isn't dark purple on dark blue just soooo cool? Naturally, use the
thinnest, reediest font available and be sure to have plenty of
transparency with a complicated image underneath.

The hubris is breathtaking.
