If they all use blackle.com as a default search engine the kids know why they are doing it and do so at home. The response from them is that it looks better and reads easier. As a result we have managed to use this as a tool to snowball the owners into an eco train of thought - i.e. buying in Solar panels for the roofs as we have near equator sunlight and heat. (Vietnam). The black background Vs the white saves monitor Voltage (400+admin pcs x voltage = good message of environmental consciousness) :-) Hi Malte,
