Regardless of the resolution you can always increase the font sizes to
match your needs. For that matter, almost everything can be sized to
your liking: scroll bars, title bars, icon size, etc. Nobody should
ever turn away from a high-res display because they don't like the way
the default installation of Windows looks (that the fonts are too
small). Besides, you'll find after using it a while that you'll really
end up liking smaller fonts because of all the extra real-estate that
you get to play with. I have a 1600x1200 display on my A21p and it is
awesome! I also use 1440x1050 on several other laptops (including a
T40) and that is nice too. Whenever I have to use a system with
1024x768 (or *gag* 800x600) it is just like stepping back into the dark
ages. Those icons are so huge and the desktop size is so limiting.
