From what I've read in other places, using all caps is the equivalent of shouting.

I think there is something in one of the "how to use this forum" sections that it is preferable to not use all capitals in a posting.

It's easier for me to read messages that also use lower case. I think it's because there seems to be more white space around the words. Or maybe it's what I'm accustomed to.

I think there is a way of setting your screen so that it will "read bigger" for you.

Just ask for that - I know someone here knows how to do that.

Dharma is a company that sells everything to professionally dye fa bric...they have both Synthrapol and Retayne at a really good price. They have a wonderful website that even sells clothing to hand dye.

Whoops, forgot to add the website:

dharmatrading.com (Dharma Trading Company)

I also suggest you check out their product that adds a 30 SPF sun protection to fabric...I ordered items (at huge expense...$85 for just a shirt) from companies like Solumbra until I started using this product. Now I just wash the clothes I want to sunproof in Idye Sunblocker at $2.99 per bottle in my washing machine.

Thanks for the information. Found how to use the forum under "Help." Plainly states not to use caps so I won't in the future. As a former teacher, I do want to follow the rules!!!!!!!!!

You know someone who knows how to set the computer to read bigger? I would greatly appreciate knowing how to do that.

I'm using a Mac computer - on the menu bar at the top of this screen, there are words - Safari, File, Edit, View, History . . . .

If I click on "View" - there are options for "actual size," "zoom in," "zoom out," and "Zoom text only"

If you are using a PC, maybe there is something similar on your computer?

Thanks for telling us that M/ Mr Mac person. I also am a MAC user.

I prefer a space between paragraphs more than large/small type.

HOwever, ask ten people a question, ten different opinions, you know that.

However I will enjoy reading this in whatever, thank you all for contributing. i am a newbie, and grateful for all. PIffle

Thank you so much. I followed your instructions and set the text size to "largest." What a difference! I am still learning how to use this toy even though I have had it for several years!
