[sldev] A new look for the Second Life Viewer

[Erik Anderson]

This is probably very specific on the quality of the monitor that you had.
Back when I was working on my Apple //e *everything* was white on black, and
the occasional word processor that came out with black on white writing was
very difficult to read and quickly gave me headaches.  Now just about
everything I write on (including this email) is black-on-white.

It could also refer to the "blinders" that you wear when inside the virtual
world.  A piece of paper would not be constantly illuminated in a real world
situation especially at night where the bright aspects of it may be more
distracting than necessary from the scene you are a part of.
