Let me add to this that we decided on paper that the background should be white, and the print blank. In fact, we usually go to a lot of trouble to make the paper as white as possible. I wonder why so many people feel differently for computer text? Also - I have several acquaintances with vision problems. Some tell me that besides a small font, a dark background with light text is the most difficult to read. Others tell me its preferable. What this points to is the ability to be as generic as possible, and let the reader decide...
