Just wanted to make a comment - criticism perhaps - of the size of the print/text I see on some web sites I have visited. Honestly, I am not old and I almost need a magnifying glass to see some of it. Sometimes it seems that the designer has tried to cram as much as is humanly possible on to one screen - and these appear to be experienced designers.

Initially, I thought perhaps it was because I was using a four-year old monitor. Well, I bought a new computer just four months ago, along with a new 19-inch monitor - and nothing has changed!

Is it a new trend to try to make fonts as microscopic as possible? To me, that would be against any feasible standard of good usability.

There's a good lesson there: use relative font sizes, so people's user defined style sheets don't break your page.
