[TenTec] Upper Case postings and coloring the black lettering on the Orion

[chacuff]

Upper case text for emphasis is one thing Rick, typing an entire email in 
upper case and it displaying a bit of attitude as well, is accepted by most 
as indicative of yelling.  I'm pushing 60 yrs old and I do Text, I do upper 
and lower case just as I do on the computer.  I haven't found a compelling 
enough use for Chat or Twitter to participate in either of those.

If readability is an issue then setting up your email software to a larger 
font size fixes that and still allows the use of both upper and lower case 
as necessary.

I believe the use of bold or upper case for emphasis is perfectly acceptable 
and was an intended use of the two formats.

Just my oppinion though...

To inject an on topic subject matter into the flow here....

Has anyone ever tried to put white coloring on the tops of the black molded 
lettering on the front panel of the Orion?

I am considering giving it a try using a fairly hard rubber roller and some 
white paint of some sort.  It sure would add a nice touch to the panel to be 
able to add some contrast to those markings.
