    Mark you got a real hodge podge here. Just ask those who try to make IEP's
    forms to fit multiple screens!!!

    And often times there are techies who work in the schools who don't even
    realize that the other factor is refresh rate.
    I have seen registrars screens at high schools which the registrar looks at
    all day with a startk white background set as low as 55. It's wonderful the
    pixels just seems to flash and jump out at the viewer and at the end of the
    day the nervous system of the viewer is just plain
    shotshotshotshotshotshotshot........................shot!

    Some set ups have a place where you can easily set the refresh rate higher
    to a more comfortable rate but that can also sacrifice the screen resolution
    being set higher depending on the oopmh of the program in charge.

    Are all schools in this district setting their screen resolutions at 1024 by
    768 (or higher)? Maybe my school is an exception, but all of our machines
    are set to 800 by 600. We have too many 14 and 15 inch monitors to go
    higher. While still acceptable for most web sites, 800x600 sure doesn't
    work well for the Inside SSD site - and OWA. Are other schools out there
    still using 800x600? Thanks - Mark
