<sigh> if only that was true. This one has fought the battle against bifocals and lost and now is resisting trifocals with all of my might. I wear bifocals when I am out and about and have a different single vision prescription for monitors.
Firefox's superior user interface (ctrl-+ is my friend!) actually allows me to read many pages without glasses!
For some reason, SciAm is one of the worst offenders - defaults to microprint, my friend crtl-+ will not work and I have to use their + and the column size is fixed. And their tool ('+') stop when the font is *almost* legible, but then I get about four or five words per line.
A WEB PAGE IS NOT A MAGAZINE!
I hate the commerical habit of fixing the column size and in fact I hate more than two columns on a web page, actually. One column like this fine forum where the text fills the screen is ideal.
Web text must flow.
Thank you for letting me get that off my chest.
If only I was young again.
