Dear Ken:

I love your site. I think it's one of the best things on the internet. But please, Ken. I'm not as young as I used to be. Could you recognize that teeny, tiny, type is very hard for fogies like me to read? I need something my middle-aged eyse can focus on!

Seriously, ever since the site was revamped, I can hardly find my way through the home page, and changing font size on my computer does some less than desirable things to the appearance of your finely-designed page. How about some standard font sizing? Pretty Please?

Signed, blindedly, Twitterpate

Really? Are you bumping the font size through your browser? I can get it HUGE and the page formatting still looks great with Firefox...

If you run Firefox or Internet Explorer - just go to "View" - then "Text Size"

I use an 800X600 screen size because it gives bigger pictures and text. Perhaps you should try that?

Yeah, but ... but then I'd have to give up my instant gratification!

And then, whenever I navigate to another site, I have to change everything back again. (Hmmn, perhaps that's Ken's secret plan?)

Seriously, if just the links on the home page top line could be put into a size visible to (my) naked eye, it would help.

Not to mention that thin gray letters on a black background don't give enough contrast for old farts like twitterpate and myself.

Just you wait, Ken. Presbyopia will get you, too.

I tend to read the printable versions of reviews as they are in a larger font and black-on-white.

If you use the Opera browser, any website can be magnified using the - and + kays on the numeric keyboard.

It's otherwise a fantastic browser, so it won't hurt to give it a try.

The problem with doing this sort of thing in Firefox is that you must think in Russian. Can you do that?

I'm not getting it.

BTW Firefox uses Ctrl +/- for hotkeys to change font size. Just like Opera, only add the control key.

Me three. That was one of the few movies my dad and I used to agree to watch together, along with the "Man with No Name" trilogy and a couple of Steven Seagal's older movies. We have very different tastes for the most part.
