That's a very nice idea, as long as you figure out how to make me right-handed, convert my eyes to 20-20, and fix my former colleague's color-blindness. Some customization is (or should be) portable, and it is, in fact, necessary. When I was younger, I used the smallest font that I could read, in order to get the most letters on the screen. In essence I do that now, by choosing a high-resolution display and picking a font carefully for legibility. The letters are larger now in absolute terms, and _much_ larger in pixels, so I suffer with web pages and applications that think they know what size text takes. "One size fits all" is short for "one size fits all that fit." --Scott David Daniels scott.dani...@acm.org _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list Edu-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
