72 dpi icons looked good to me
Maybe the logic of big icons was not eyesight but touchpad control?

Though the target audience of the XO builds is still children 6-12, it  
doesnt have to restrict the audience of other Sugar builds. Sugarlabs  
can have a wider mission than OLPC.

There are features of Sugar which should have strong 12+ appeal: show  
source, Pippy, TurtleArt Python extensions.

I dont recall the issue of target audience ever being discussed at  
Sugarlabs, we kind of inherited the 6-12 mission of OLPC without  
further analysis.
