What are you doing right now?

[Caspin]

I had an ancient, terribly slow computer that could barely function (it's poor little fan would be wheezing and whining all the time) and it had reached the point where I couldn't actually run the software I need to do my job. So this week they bought me a Dell Optiplex 9010 All-in-one. It is a PC but looks (and acts) like a fake, substandard iMac. It is much faster than the old one though (anything would be) and now I have Windows 7 and modern web browsers, so I am happy about that. I am having terrible problems with the screen, though. It arrived set at maximum brightness and it took me ages to find the brightness controls (they had hidden them from me) so I've fixed that now. I'm mildly photophobic so just being under office lights all day is bad enough, I don't need an ultra-bright screen as well. What I cannot fix currently is making the text on screen look sharp. There is a thing you can do called ClearType, which is supposed to make everything really sharp, but having run it several times I don't seem to have achieved much. I'm going to have to fix this problem soon because it's giving me sore eyes and a headache.
