What's the problem?
I got stupid. The money was too good.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I bought a nice big new monitor. It told me it would work best if I reset the display to 1680x1050 at 60 Hz refresh rate. With some scuffling I figured out how to do this.
Now all the fonts are too small, and webpages that used to take up the whole screen are centered cozily in the middle, and I can't read anything without squinting.
I swear, I don't have the energy to figure out anything else. I'm ready to scream. What do I do?

I did all that... I already have Clear Type turned on too. The fonts on my desktop are big enough; it's the fonts in the webpages that're killing me. And the size of the webpage display. I'm trying to fix it in Tools->Internet Options, but no luck.

Wait... I set the display back to Windows Classic instead of XP... that seems to have done soemthing positive.
I hate Windows. Have I mentioned this?

Frick. I guess I'll have to get used to all my websites being either narrow and centered or stretched out and tiny, because it doesn't look like there's any way to change it that doesn't frell the layout.
Maybe the stompies will enlarge our font, just for me.
