Re: XY on tiny screen

Michael, thanks for this. This is still just for Windows settings--not what's within program windows--but unlike Accessibility, it doesn't slam Windows default fonts back onto all my lovingly chosen custom fonts from Properties/Advanced.

 I transfer my Theme from computer to computer--like XyWrite--but I thought I had to change each
font size for the smaller screens. This eliminates that, at least. But programs that don't allow you
to customize font size within the window are unaffected.

As for Apple's "ultraportable," that's the MacBook Air? They went after the wrong
parameter--thickness. Looks great in photos. Very Hollywood. But it weighs 3 lbs. I wish they'd
look at the etymology of portable: to be carried.

The U810 weighs 1.8 lbs. (My other mini Fujitsu, the P1610 with the 8.9" screen, is 2.2 lbs.)
The extra pound makes a big difference carried in a shoulder bag at a rock festival that runs 17
hours nonstop.
