I have poor sight, and I find the TDE archives *significantly* better than 
most, which I fond unusable.  In fact, I can't see a problem.  They are 
great.  Beautifully clear and highly legible when I enlarge (ctrl-+) which I 
expect to do anyway.  Most archives are awful and I can hardly read them.  I 
have attached a screenshot of what I see.  I don't know whether it will get 
through.
