RE: Designing for Viewers

Thanks, Jeff.  I do understand about size, etc.  I really wanted to know if
the  crispness made that much difference to folks when designing.  I still
believe you should use the same eyeglasses your client sees, ifyou know
what I mean.  But perhaps the tradeoff is not that perceptible and worth
having the lower dot pitch just for personal satisfaction and using the
darn thing every day for work....
