Hi Peter:
What do accessibility options mean here,? do they refer to the necessity to
display material in larger print sizes. Would a screen reader pick this up?
how do windows display settings effect this? The highest is 10xx by xxxx
you know the one I mean, and if so, how does a higher number of pixels on
the screen effect the appearance? I am still using Windows 98, so it will
be interesting to find out, whether this all works appropriately under this
OS.
