running towards 60 ..

[eppie]

hello,

 

I'm running towards 60 now. Stared at computer screens for my whole working life, and my eyes aren't getting better.

I very much would like an option to adjust the font sizes for your so gratefully used program.

 

thanks!

Welcome eppie

 

Thankfully I am near sighted so when I read the screen for a long time I don't wear my contact lenses because I have to keep my reading glasses handy that I misplace all the time.

 

I keep my distance glasses by the TV when I know that I will fall asleep watching it.

 

Quite a while back my mum gave me hand held magnifying glass that she said will come in handy for later use and now I am glad she gave that to me for reading instructions on things that are even small when I don't wear my contact lenses.

 

I keep the screen resolution to a maximum of 1024x768 as higher resolution everything becomes way too small.

 

That's one of the things about The Golden Years I can do without.
