Most sites (that don't use Flash) can change font size with your Font +/-,
unless you view them on a IE PC, where 10px Arial, means just that and
nuffin' else.

Erm. If you try to run a 15" at 1024x768 you get either big black border, or
fuzzy blurry text. Just tried it on my 15" Ti. Horrible. I shake my head in
