When I cast my laptop to my 58" smart TV things are a LOT easier to read. :wink:

Re: forum colours

Just a thought Ed, have you tried increasing the page size ?

I'm currently on + 175% and it makes reading a lot easier.

Re: forum colours

I'm on Prosilver special edition and actual post is black (ish) text on a light blue background.

What style are you on Ed ?

My Mum has very poor sight (macular degeneration - the bad type) and I know how she suffers.

WANTED. 15.6 Laptop.

Prefer Lenovo.

DVD drive and webcam necessary. Can manage without hard drive and memory, but would like a relatively modern processor.

Looking to update Jeans old laptop.

Re: Wood options in 2023

OSB vs Plywood. OSB can be manufactured into larger panels than plywood. OSB is generally less expensive than plywood. OSB is more uniform, with fewer voids, soft spots, or gaps. OSB is considered by many to be a more environmentally friendly product since it can be made from scrap and smaller trees...
