I had purchased PB earlier this year but never really got around to really doing much with it. I needed the "big picture" to be clarified and this was provided by Kale's new ...

Thanx for the nice comparison! I'll take a look at Dina.

Your welcome. Thanks for the kind words. I added a ClearType version of the comparison as well. It can make a big difference!
