I can't imagine that I am 100 years old, but I can imagine that I am 60, and have already begun to feel the ravages of time on my body. It also is a pain to use computer screens that are designed by and for young people. Sometimes I have to switch between two different pairs of glasses, as well as trying to read without glasses, and sometimes using a magnifying glass as well, all to do a single simple task while working at my desk. > > Simplest solution would be to remove never to be used menu selections.

There was a discussion about increasing the space between buttons. I will look through the mailing list to see if I can find it, or maybe somebody else remembers? But I think they were discussing some kind of redesign or tweak of the close/maximize/minimize buttons at the top right-hand corner. My memory is fuzzy on this point. I think they were discussing adding null space to deal with that issue.
