I've had this discussion with many of my co-workers who look at my monitor from behind and ask how I can read it. For all but a very small percentage of them... it's just perception and what they are used to. As a test, ALT+TAB over to your email and compare the font size to what you "think" is too small for your 3270 emulator. One thing I have found that has made it much easier for me, is to not use the "screen format - data" ISPF support nor the "alternate primary size" that Ed worked so hard to get implemented (BINPSZRC). I use "screen size - max" all the time so I always see the "small" size instead of it getting "big" as I swap between ISPF panels. Yes, there is that "white space" / brackets (whatever) at the sides of the viewable data for those panels and the wrapping issue with ISPF option 6 (which I rarely use), but overall I like it *much* better as do the people I've converted to using the large screen sizes.
