If you get your kicks making your screen black and white, then you should try DarkAdapted.

i change mine to black on white, just to show off to friends. it's also fun to do to their computer once and a while, because they don't know how to undo it. same with zooming in and out.

Kinda fun. The novelty will wear off, I'm sure though....

I never knew that existed. Cool, thanks.

Now if they only had a button that would eliminate typing and just read my mind . . .

Wow, that novelty lasted all of 30 seconds. I prefer using the old Apple Control Option 8 route. Its a great way to freak people out.

I love the support issues that I have heard from users who have somehow managed to hit that key combo to turn on the feature. They do indeed get freaked out.

I like the black and white... but it's a novelty IMHO unless you have vision issues.
