I was referring to the huge icon laden window it opened that still needed a scrollbar up the right side that was less than half the height of the window, total scroll length estimated at 2 feet. Sorry, but at 73, and with eyes fading from diabetis, I still run a 1680x1050 screen on a Synchmaster 205 here. I don't need glasses any stronger than what I wear to see it either, so if someone actually is poor enough off for eyes to need that amount of magnification, I darned sure don't want to meet them coming down the road at me in 2 tons or more of steel. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
