Re: fixed font size

AMEN!

   And isnt that what we are after here?  Accessibility?  Sounds to me
like many so called experts on here want the prestige without doing the
work.  Joe Clark, for example, showed a very arrogant and unrealistic
demand for everyone to make people upgrade.  Did it occur to him or
anyone out there, how much software is available to Win9X that works
beautifully but doesnt work (and has no alternatives) in Win XP (fofr
example Dragon Dictate, which works well with some speech problems,
where Dragon NatSpeaking does not).  I surely would expect a better
answer to many of these questions on this list.

  PX are not a fixed size hardware wise.  But is that really the point? 
Why waste time arguing about what PX are or are not.  Let's discuss if
PX can be used or not in an accessible manner.
