PowerBook display getting darker?
Since a couple of days ago, I have a feeling that my PowerBook G4 15 display is much darker now than it was when I originally bought it (some 3 months ago). I don't have any measurements to confirm that, but right now, during the night, in a moderately light room, I have to have it at full brightness, and it still does not feel comfortable. Before, I had it at around 80% and it felt okay. I have two other LCD screens next to it, and I don't feel they changed, so I'd rule out my vision as a culprit. When I put PowerBook LCD next to them, they seem the same (actually, PB feels a tad darker), while before I was admiring the whiteness of PB's screen as compared to the other two. Am I imagining things? Has anyone else encountered this before? What should I do?

As someone who in days gone by received anywhere from 400-600 mail-list messages a day (I've cut back on my mail-lists in the last year or two), I have *never* used a digest mode. The biggest reason is the time-delay between when the posts are actual made and the time the digest reaches the subscribers. There are times when urgent help is needed ASAP. Secondly, although I don't know how the digest mode on this list is configured, I always found trying to locate a specific message in a digest a pain in the neck. It's very easy to look at all of the individual messages and select the one(s) you want to read immediately. I don't see where trying to follow a thread is difficult in the non-digest mode. I assume that your email client can can sort incoming messages by thread. If it's a I can't remember what an early message said problem, just keep those that look interesting to you, instead of deleting them right away. Or move all read messages to a mailbox where you keep them for a week before deleting. However, as the French say: Chacun a son gout. I don't understand French, but if it roughly means whatever makes your boat float. I agree. :-) That's what makes the world go around.
