Well, at 1280x1024 on my desktop machine 12pt is completely unreadably small, 
and thats a pretty common resolution (w a 17" monitor btw). Every time I go 
to a site I have to go to view->zoom->150%... It gets old quickly! Now 
imagine what its like on my laptop, which has a 1400x1050 resolution (and you 
really can't change resolution on LCD displays...). I have to agree with 
Matt, web site designers should darn well NOT SPECIFY FONT SIZES, because 
then at least my personal default sizes take over and I can see the text!
