You should be using a 20 inch monitor or bigger in that video mode.  If
you're trying this on a 15" or 17" monitor you are abusing your eyes.

Pixels were radically different in size from one browser and computer
platform and the next.  This means webpages would look very different.  I
could have a picture of a product with very small text next to it for
Mac's/Netscape lets say and Windoz/ I.E.   Pixels help us to cover a broader
group of platforms.
