Speaking for those of us who are at a certain age where the Cntl-plus key combination is a familiar support, I'd like to have a screen that I can see without changing glasses, pulling down the window shades, and/or resorting to the uglier-than-sin "high contrast" color scheme. As a /start/, let's demand that /all/ monitors rotate a full 90 degrees: the first "word processors" made by An Wang came that way, and I've always been amazed that others didn't have a similar attack of common sense. In addition, the supports for "High Definition" TV set could benefit from similar capabilities, so that those who are called out of bed at 3:17 AM to tend to a ailing server would be able to do so without having to find their eyeglasses at the same time they're looking for an ice pack and a band-aid. Don't ask me how I know. </RANT> Bill -- Bill Horne William Warren Consulting http://www.william-warren.com/ 339-364-8487
