I recently got a Mac IIsi with the 13" RGB monitor. I have been using an original Mac, and then a Mac Plus, for over six years, and I'm noticing that my eyes are a *lot* more tired after using the color monitor for terminal emulation or word processing then they used to be with the small B&W monitors. Don't get me wrong, this is about the clearest color display I've ever seen, but just doesn't compare with the resolution of a monochrome monitor, even if it's a tiny one like the 9" mac. Anyone else having a problem like this? I find myself using 12-point text all the time to make things a little easier to read, but my eyes still tire easily. BTW, I don't wear glasses. Thanks for any feedback.

Pardon? The resolution of the AppleColor High-Res RGB 13" Display and the compact Macs' internal 9" screen is exactly the same: 72 dots (pixels) per inch. I rather noticed the opposite effect. I've still not fully migrated to my new color machine, and going back to the old one tires me easily.
