Thanks Guys for all your input,
This friend of mine knows very little about computers, She is a whiz at
using her company's programs, but that's about it. She's all business when at

Of course, how many people really set their font-size using em,

Thanks for the feedback. I promise, I tried it in IE before
generalizing. What I didn't consider was the fact that I had IE7
installed on the machine I was typing from. You're right: it doesn't
work in IE6.
And I did mention Clear Type, at the end, as a 'oh and by the way.'

You may want to add that resizing text in the web browser does not work
with IE. I do not know about IE7.

Some people find it better to use "clear type" as screen fonts smoothing

IMHO A brand name or no brand in todays computers have very little to do
how they work, or do not work. Most, if not all parts are made in China
or Taiwan. It is just a matter of luck if they fail. Cheaper computers
often have lower quality parts. Higher quality parts may fail as well.
