No, it was still blurry at 75, and at 70 Hz. It may be a fault of the
machine- I just fired up Gnome and things didn't look any better. I
think that there is some LiveCD version of Win98 that I will try to
get going on the computer, just to see if the fonts come out any
better.

Thanks, everybody. I appreciate all the good advice.
