That figures. ;)
Not at all; that's the last thing I'd do. Ben appeared to be saying that
he needs larger text (which many people do) and got it by reducing his
display resolution. I may have misinterpreted what he said, and would be
happy to stand corrected. (Ben?)
However, that exact scenario is something I've known Windows people to do a
lot, for a long time now. I'm pleased to learn that it isn't actually
*necessary*.

I didn't
miss the point. (at least I don't think I did!)
Ben is stuck in Windows land.
What indicates that? Windows users
are accustomed to reducing the
resolution of the graphics system in order to get larger text.
Only incompetent ones. Windows has had on-screen feature scaling since
the 3.1 days and built-in to the GDI since NT 3. This has, of
course, been ludicrous since day one. Just increase the friggin' font size.
Apparently that's "hard" in Windows land.
No, it isn't, not at all. Hasn't been since 1993 or so.
I think that what Ben was saying was that he had low vision or other
serious eyesight problems and that he therefore cannot read small
text. You appeared to be mocking his disability.
