When the //gs displays text on the screen with a color background and
color text some combinations use dithering and look strange.  I have
noticed that when using the desktop the grey background has red inter-
ference in it, particularly when the disk drive runs, it looks bad in
the color mode.  I don't like the font Apple uses, the 'm' and 'w' are
hard to read because the center portions are drawn so thin.  On a color
monitor these blur into almost a square block.
