   For years, I used to use the 80-column text screen on the old Apple II as   
   displayed on an AppleColor monitor (either the composite one for the IIe or   
   the analog RGB one for the IIGS) as the metric for minimum readability for   
   text.   
      
   However, in recent years nobody knows what I'm talking about when I say "If   
   it's smaller than the 80-column text screen on an Apple IIe it's too small".   
   Or if they have an idea what an Apple IIe is, they don't know what the text   
   looked like.   
      
   Could somebody suggest a better way to talk to the next generation too young   
   to remember the Apple II? I'm not sure the best way to describe the text size   
   on an Apple II.   
   The context is something like talking about say the text in the Battletech   
   game from Harebrained Schemes / Paradox Interactive, or how a web page is   
   rendered on my phone and being annoyed at how small the "Mobile friendly"   
   version appears, especially if    
   I try to zoom and the site forces me to use horizontal scrolling.   
   We had Word Wrap on the Apple II+ with DogPaw and numerous other programs for   
   god's sake, why can't a phone with a processor 40 years more advanced do   
   simple word wrap?
