I like IE.. there never was a problem, til yesterday.. and even now it's only here! changing browsers seems like a kind of extreme step. smallering my type size before ignoring it (I should have quoted.. you get what I mean?) did help, the rest of the world isn't quite so ugly as it was the first time..
maybe I can get used to this. or.. maybe they'll put a bigger the type option in

. or maybe I'll spend less time here and more time places that don't make me squint.
thanks for the help, though.. it's not difficult to change, so.. I might can live with it now, just switching it back and forth..
