1280x1024 is only too small for Windows text. all other objects, images, etc. are ok. There are many business apps that i use that i need to see as much on the screen as possible. my vision is 20/20 as well. i think you'll find most people that use a high end monitor will want to use high resolution to get the most of their real estate.
anyway, i don't want to exchange anymore emails about this. you know have my opinion
good luck on the maximize button!
oh, i should have mentioned before - i have used your program before and really like it. I'm looking forward to using the new one!
