There used to be a company that would take out the polarizing layer on
an LCD screen for you. The display would end up looking like white
noise, except if you wore superspecial polarizing glasses, which would
set the polarity right.

Obviously this wouldn't work on a CRT, but the idea is worth
pursuing. What about making your screen bright blue on slightly-darker
blue, and wearing those funny yellow sunshades they advertize on
late-night TV?

Another alternative would be setting your screen font so that it's
just funny squiggle lines of your own devising, and memorizing what
each squiggle means.
