I was once walking with a friend through the university library. We walked past a kid using irc on his laptop with neon green and purple on black text, font size as high as it would go, all in Comic Sans no less. Epitome of tackiness.

I made some idle snide remark about it. My friend points out that he knows the guy, who turns out to have significant visual impairment.

Cue feeling embarrassed for the rest of the afternoon :(

Browsing this in the evening I found myself immensely thankful upon switching to this tab, finding how easy on the eyes the theme was. My eyes were no longer burning from the screen's brightness and the contrast of green-on-black was brilliant. :)

It's always 1999.
