RE: Today's "Statistics"

My father keeps his computer on 800x600 because 1)his vision has been 
getting poorer and 2)he can't afford a huge monitor (his is 15").  I think 
you'll find that a lot of people don't have the big 17" and 19" monitors and 
so feel more comfortable with a lower resolution.  I guess we can get them 
to make full use of the technology available by paying for it for them.

If you're interested in setting up such a program, you can start with me.  
Since I'm still in college, I haven't been able to upgrade my old 14" 
monitor (in fact, it's my parents' old monitor-I couldn't even afford a new 
monitor when I bought my computer a few years ago).  But I use a 1024x768 
resolution just because I think it looks better.  I have a screen magnifier 
program for when I run across one of those annoying websites that uses a 
10pt (or less) font size.
