BIRDS NEST

[Pete Masterson]

It's a long-term netiquette issue... If folks have vision problems
when using a computer, most email clients and web browsers allow type
to be enlarged for viewing -- and usually the text will re-wrap to
make the lines convenient to read.

On my Mac using the "Mail" program, I simply hold down the "command"
key and hit the + key to enlarge the type if something's too small
for my eyes. Most other programs offer some similar arrangement.

As a publisher and typographer (in my non-Bird life) I've read
considerable research that upper and lower case normally provides the
highest levels of reading comprehension. All caps is often difficult
to read and results in a much lower comprehension level.
