then perhaps you can change the font setting? Pick out one from this LIST (the fish in the bathroom looks very promising...)

weird. And we can't change the font, because it's not on the display or something, but really printed upon the buttons !

yup..we are just waiting for you Tabs...post a quote now...

ppfftt..I'm just giving you a crash course on the colour wheel.....and you can actually have a cool impressionist palette background for your poster...
