Arghhh. I’m not visually impaired … yet. But, I, and all the optometrists I’ve ever spoken to about the topic have agreed, the visual geometry and and capabilities of the personal computer stink.
Web browsers and email clients and most software don’t allow one to adjust the display as needed.
Don’t give me a machine capable of lots of resolutions from 800×600, to my current 1280×800, and up to a 1900×1200, that either requires the use a of a magnifying glass or won’t fit a normal group of icons.
It stinks!
Tuning all this is an art form. Change one setting or run certain programs and you’re either blind or down in the weeds.
Every program has it’s own settings and does displays differently.
For example, LookOut does it’s own things (sometimes) and shares some settings with Windoze. It’s very frustrating; has been; and I expect will be in the future.
Arghhh!
