   My main issue with "show them X", is that when I'm talking about these things   
   in person, I don't have access to Macs or Apple II equipment. I've got to use   
   my words. At best I might be able to call up something on my phone, but that   
   runs into the scaling    
   issue. I can only show the text on my phone and say "if it's smaller than   
   this, it's too small".   
   However other times I might be posting on a message board or sending an   
   e-mail, so I'd have to link, with no way of knowing if it would appear the   
   same on their screen as on mine. So again, I'm unsure how to describe to them   
   the size of the text on the    
   Apple II 80-column screen.   
   BTW, I didn't notice much difference back when I was a kid between that   
   smaller green monitor, the Apple IIe's color monitor, my Apple IIGS's color   
   monitor, and the older brown color monitor I occasionally saw in school with a   
   IIc or pre-platinum IIe. I    
   think each of my schools only had ONE IIc.   
      
   Another issue I have is that in the 1990's, before CSS with it's fixed layouts   
   became king, websites were designed so that if you changed the size of the   
   window, the text would rewrap to fix the new window. The window was supposed   
   to be resizable. It was    
   also supposed to let the user pick the font sizes and initially you could only   
   specify things like "larger" or "smaller" via the headings tags, with H3 being   
   standard size, H1 and H2 being larger and H4, H5 being smaller. I absolutely   
   hated when the FONT    
   SIZE tag was introduced because everybody seemed to like tiny text, although I   
   later found out that IE handled the numbers differently from Netscape so it   
   wasn't as bad in IE.   
   Now sometimes you ran into problems making the window smaller than 640x480,   
   later 800x600, but usually this worked.   
   What would be nice is if when I zoomed the page to make the text bigger, the   
   text would automatically rewrap to fit the new viewport.
