Didn't mean to send to your personal email address, just hit reply without looking. I definitely make a few adjustments with a new machine, but it doesn't involve changing my settings. If you will look over the threads starting about December of last year, when I bought new laptop, you will find many posts and and other people's replies about various issues that arise; however, as I said, I don't need to change my actual settings (all that pretty stuff like layout, font sizes, etc.) I do know a little something about pixels versus dpi, but that goes back to working with printed pages (newspapers and such), and doesn't really apply here to screen display. About the only thing that gets changed is the screen size itself, and that happened automatically, nothing done on my part. If I have time, I will review some of those old posts and point to some examples. Believe me, I am no genius, especially when working with computers. As my old friend Aesop once said, slow and steady wins the race. I am the tortoise in that metaphor. All you need is 15 years or so to get your machine working the way you want.
