I'm 57, they say your only as old as you feel.... That's my problem...
With the average age of users being in the old fart range
maybe the default font size here should be a bit bigger.

One week later I was rebuilding one...
Four months later I owned two....

Yeah but I don't have to read it after I enter it. I usually do that as a point of emphasis or for something that is a little off topic.

I must have missed the point. I thought the suggestion was an indication that 57 year old's require larger font than those of us who are older:) Jim

Actually the default font is one size to small to read much without my seeing eye goggles.


My parents warned me about this.

Actually, age may not be the deciding factor.:rolleyes: I can see this size font quite well and I am 73.

I have no trouble seeing all that fine printing at 60...Of course I'll probably get brain cancer from holding the laptop 3 inches from my face.
