That sounds more like a complaint about the GUI. IMO, WinXP does have a cartoonish look. > At this res I can read everything without squinting or leaning forward > or constantly upping the size in browsers because developers use teeny > tiny text (I have 20/20 vision btw, no glasses, no contacts). Before I needed reading/computer glasses (getting older!) I found it preferable to see more -- more cells in a spreadsheet, more of a page in a word processor, etc. That's why I set my 21" CRT to 1600x1200. I still use that resolution with glasses and find it no harder to use (without leaning forward or quinting) than reading a printed page. But, of course, to each his (her) own. > Incidentally, I also had to be bullied into getting a mobile phone > (last year). Maybe I'm just a Luddite :) I still do without one. I also resisted pagers (electronic dog leashes) when they were in vogue. I don't need -- or want -- to be available every moment of the day. -- T. R.
