Speaking of the increasing strangeness that seems to be overtaking the
wonderful world of print---
I have booklets of CD liner notes that are printed with such weird colors
and lack of contrast between words and background that they can't be
effectively scanned, I can't read them with my trusty Optacons, and my
sighted spouse has given up in despair.
What I wouldn't give to be CEo of one of those recording companies for a
day! The department responsible for getting those notes printed would look
very different by that day's end.
