I believe that the poster said that they were LEGALLY blind. This means
that they can see but not well enough. Typing in all caps might just make
the letters big enough for a person to read when they couldn't see the
lower case letters. In any case, the better solution would be just to
make ALL the letters bigger by increasing the font size. I don't know how
to do that in WEBtv, but one poster here claims that it can be done.
When a person can barely read something, it creates a lot of eyestrain.
