So, I wondered if I could change it around for a website and make the text black & the background a lighter color.

Can Safari do that? Not that I know of, and I don't want to lose all the formatting for other sites that have their text in "correct" colors.

I then remembered an option in Universal Access where you can invert the screen, changing black-on-white to white-on-black, etc.

Bingo! Press control-option-apple-8, and the whole screen flips to something like a black & white photo negative. Now, ars.techinca's site is entirely readable, and I don't end up with annoying lines in my field of vision afterwards.

Cool. Any idea how I program a function key to invert to photo neg like this?
