Apple's web site isn't much better, it's got to be the most hard to read

read it. I find this astonishing, am I doing something wrong?
Looking at Apple's developer site and the API reference, for me the body
of the text is black using firefox, some minor parts are in gray.
I'm using firefox. Even on their main developer.apple.com/iphone/index.action,
most of the text is light grey on white.
Now click on "getting started documents", which brings you to a page that will
not render in Explorer or Firefox, only Safari.
In the docs themselves, a very light blue font is used for links that is
illegible. The code examples in the docs are even lighter grey on white. Couple
this with the unusually small font used, and it's literally painful to read.
For a company that prides itself on excellent readability, I am astonished, and
I can't believe I'm the only one with problems reading their pages.
