Blue text - why?
Anyone who knows about the eye, knows that blue is the hardest color for the eye to focus on while red/amber is the easiest, so why blue text on blue background on this site? Blue as a background is fine as the eye doesn't need to focus on that.

Blue as a background is fine as the eye doesn't need to focus on that. I suppose that brown would be a good compromise color (or maroon) for text as they have some red and/or yellow in them. Kindly get rid of the blue text... From a new member who has passed the big six-oh and doesn't see as well as he used to.

I recently purchased a computer and noticed that some PC info (CPU temperature and fan speed) was displayed on a small display window on the front of my PC unit. Here's the interesting thing. From my chair and I read the text (dark blue on a ligher blue background) without using my reading glasses. OK not a big deal, but if I put my business card (black text on a white background) next to the display (at arms length), the text on my card is very very blurred, yet the text on the PC mini-display is perfectly clear. Why is this?
The answer to why people find that a blue background reduces eye-strain, could be revealed in the observation that with a white background the eye (iris muscles?) have a hard time to focus the lettering, whereas with a blue bkgrd they do not.
Comments please.
