New Laptop and LCD Flat Panel Users---

Since the ranks of laptop and flat-panel users are growing, I'm
sharing this tip captured from PC Magazine for making text appear
more legible, crisp, and beautiful in Windows XP.

"Laptop screens are usually easier on the eyes than the oh-so-subtly
flickering CRTs. Even at high resolutions, however, fonts on LCDs can
look a little jaggy around the edges. To clear them up with ClearType,
right-click on your desktop and select Properties. Hit the Effects
button on the Appearance tab and select ClearType under Use the
following method to smooth edges of screen fonts."
