I ran the following experiment: I put old and new versions of the buitin functions page side-by-side in separate browser windows. I asked my teenage daughter to come into the room, approach slowly, and say when she could read one or both windows. At about 5 feet, she could (just) read the old but not the new.
The test page I used was the builtin function page in the Library Reference.
Do you often read things on your computer monitor from 5ft away?
No, I cannot possibly do that. The point is that there *is* a distance for her as well as me at which the old style is clearly more readable than the new. For my daughter, is is 4-5 feet. For me, it is about 2 feet -- with my prescription computer reading glasses. For you, try it and find out. Obviously, most of the people here are more like my daughter than me.
I am visually handicapped, and that particular new style is worse for me. And to what purpose?
