A dozen+ people have now sent me screen snapshots (over 16 MB so 
far!) of their browser windows showing the above page, saying they 
don't see the problem.  LOL  :)

Many show the same tiny font I see.  I'm guessing you either display 
that on a lower screen resolution, so the text is bigger, or your 
eyes are 20/20 or better.  But many show MUCH bigger fonts -- you've 
probably overriden the page from the prefs or with cmd-+ already.

Please take another LOOK at the page.  Notice the GIANT EMPTY SPACE 
(aka whitespace) after the article titles end, before the article 
type field begins.  Now notice that the article titles are TRUNCATED.

eg:   "Mac OS X versions (builds) included with Intel-bas..."

instead of:  "Mac OS X versions (builds) included with Intel-based Macs"

They have ROOM for the WHOLE title but instead they TRUNCATE it FOR 
NO REASON.  Now, the particular title I show above isn't too bad; you 
can figure it out without opening it.  But read further.  There are 
article titles there that are USELESS because they're TRUNCATED. 
This is a prime example of yet-more bad design on Apple's support web 
site.
