Yes; thank you. Maybe someone could explain to me the trend toward smaller and smaller fonts used on websites. I’ve come across a number of them lately with like 6 point font – squint, squint. What are they saving?

Sorry; this is way off topic, but I was wondering. Are they expecting everyone to have 20” monitors?

Yep!
The tendency of all developer is to say, "It works for me" and then throw it over the wall. 'Web developers' are the worst of the bunch in my experience.

They also expect you to be running dual SuperMhz processors with triple-redundant, Giga-accelerated 3D video cards, and have 512GB of RAM, and be running the latest atrocity from Redmond, Washington. Just like the system they have. That way you can download their bug-laden marketing glitz over your T3 optical line and be truly amazed with the quality of their products as demonstrated by all the multi-media images dancing across the screen (that is, if it doesn't lock up your entire system).

I wish I could say I'm joking.
