    From an old dude....If ya'll could use a larger font in your blogs that would be great.  I enjoy the blogs but trying to finish the read squinting is not enjoyable.
    Thanks all.

    Peace

    Thing is I don't have "readers" or bifocals.  Retina surgery years ago made those impossible.  Each eye ends up reading a different line. And really, you most likely look just fine.

    Hey Jimmy. Here is a tip for you....

    If you are using Windows and something is too small to read

    Hold the Ctrl Key down and hit the + (plus sign) Key. Each time you hit + you magnify the screen 10%.

    Hold Ctrl and hit the - (minus) Key to make it smaller

    Hold Ctrl and hit 0 (zero) to return the screen to its original size.

    This not only works on the internet, but in all Windows programs!

    And for us Mac users (OS X) it is the Command Key instead of the control Key

    That is one reason I like my IPod Touch but I only get half of an inch to type in. But I can make it closer and bigger print just wish this was not cracked to hell.

    O.K. here's the deal. I'm not blind. Vision in my left eye is corrected to nearly 20/20...same Rx I've had for most of my life. My right eye surgery was physical surgery (not laser); operatiion lasted 3 hours and I was awake......it was pretty cool actually. According to some VA doctors, the eye surgeon (not a VA guy) performed a miracle on my right eye and they are amazed at how well I do see. I just can't (always) make the eyes read together and there aren't any glasses anywhere that can make that happen. I can read the eye charts fine with my glasses on. I have to take my glasses off to read. Bifocals for close up reading won't work simply because there's too big a difference between the left and right eye and they won't focus together. Maybe I should just close my right eye, eh?!!!!
    As for my "favor"; it's for those who blog and use the smallest or default font. It just helps if it's a bit larger. Blogs are normally longer than regular posts as I said and even an entertaining or interesting blog gets to be a hassle to get into with smaller font.
    Also, FYI....the highlighting of text can be difficult for some (not me) to read; especially people who lean towards color-blindness. Just thought I'd mention that.

    Thanks for seeing the humor in all of this, BTW.

    Peace

    Hey Dude, no problems...lol...I will always (as we say in ENGLAND) Take The P*$$!!!  But of course, I mean no malice by it...lol...I JUST LIKE TAKING THE P*$$!!!!!!

    I ALWAYS expect it back too though...hehehehehe!!!

    This is also why with the colour text I generally use PRUSSIAN BLUE .....

    It shows as a very positive black with a colour blind friend of mine...he finds black is just grey by comparison...
