Re: [Plug] Plug website: the '70s are back...

["Nick R" <laktar@hotmail.com>]

I've always preferred dark and black backgrounds. White ones are 
uncomfortable to read. They hurt my eyes. They're so bright. Of course I 
also prefer most things black/dark & I'm not particularly fond of daylight. 
Besides, black just looks cooler anyway.

What pisses me off is those people who choose really poor color combinations 
for their sites, such as black and green background w/ green text. I was 
always very careful to choose a legible color scheme during the web site 
making phase of my existence.

am thinking of using. If he breaks the code in under 30 seconds, it will not
be used. Note: this also applies to passwords.
