   Browsers at least will allow you to magnify . Most applications will   
   allow a choice of font size and in general desktops can use   
   'accessibility' or simply font setups oin menus and borders etc.

   I was brought up to believe that you should never give offence if you   
   can avoid it; the new culture tells us you should always take offence if   
   you can. There are now experts in the art of taking offence, indeed   
   whole academic subjects, such as 'gender studies', devoted to it.
