The thing is, computers display their output based on pixels, not actual sizes. While screen resolution varies somewhat (12" vs. 14" iBook is a prime example), it's all still in the same ballpark. Once we can get ourselves screens with much higher resolutions (200-300 dpi or more), I think screen output will change to be based on real-world measurements, and as such will display items at a set size, but at a different resolution depending on the quality of your display. ,xtG .tsooJ -- Joost van de Griek http://www.jvdg.net/ -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
