I was in my early 20s, roughly, when anti-aliasing became a obligatory thing in personal computing. I never enjoyed the experience of looking at a CRT computer screen more than when it was displaying one of the crisply defined old-style Macintosh raster fonts. I hated the OS X anti-aliased look; it was like someone smeared a thin layer of Vaseline on the screen. Two decades later I'm still grumbling about it. Even with the much greater screen resolutions now available, I still dislike the permanent blurriness of anti-aliased fonts. The problem afflicted screen icons, too. Gone were the pixel-perfect icons from the old days. Now you'd just scale down some commercial graphic or other and accept that it now looked just a bit blurry.
I'm a grumpy old fart aren't I ~Chara
