>That has to do with the two using different output resolutions for their
monitors. I'm not sure what the exact numbers are, though. I believe Macs
use 72ppi, whereas Windows use 90ppi. Don't quote me on that <grins>
I always thought it had more to do with the browsers and the video cards.
Whatever.... I always use pixels and always use 10px or better as this
seems to be a universally quoted minimum - which is probably the answer the
Rosemary was looking for.
I was a tech in a past lifetime. Monitor brightness is a quality issue, not
a brand issue. Apple does not sell cheap monitors. Look at a top of the
line NEC or Sony and you will find a monitor that can be adjusted very
brightly. If you buy a cheapo 17" you get what you pay for.
