david..
you can change the font size in windoze.. as you surly know..
consider the T30 (due out within a month, i have the first three on order)
with the 1050 x 1400 display..
its 14,1 inch rather than 15 inch..
and the HDD is a 40gig, most likely the new 40gig 5400RPM drive..
or the A31 with the 15inch 1050 x 1400 display..
a bit larger than the T30..
there is also an A30 with a 15inch 1024 x 768 dipslay..
for me, i use the 1200 X 1600 A31p and find it quite readable, but then i
sit close to the machine and wear my glasses..
also, you can always spec a model with a larger HDD (the 60gig) or, if you
get one from me, we can swap HDD's easily..
