better at a lower dpi than the present 110 or so.
Up your font size if they're too small; using resolution to control
display size might be convenient, but seems silly.
I wish more people would understand this. Part of the problem is that
the "conventional OS" people doesn't seem to scale well, or at least
people don't know how to scale it.
I would like to have a much higher resolution display, and I've seen
small ones. They are absolutely amazing. 100DPI on paper is dreadful,
but somehow we've accepted it for computer displays.
Instead, we have people at work choosing expensive laptops with large
low-resolution screens because people complain if the text is too small.
