I use the zoom thing quite a lot. Most websites are set to 125% or something. Usually, I hit the button twice. Even the email pane that shows subject, from and etc in Seamonkey is enlarged with three button hits. It helps in a fair amount of cases. I just wish it would save when I close and reopen. It resets when I close Seamonkey. What I've noticed a lot of lately, images that are fuzzy. It's like they are low resolution photos or something. Even with zoom and such, it doesn't help. Those are usually the sites I end up closing the tab for. I tried Thunderbird a while back. While it is supposed to be like email in Seamonkey, it isn't. I ran into several issues and google turned up info that it is the way Thunderbird works and they won't change it, nor can the user. If Seamonkey dies, I have no idea what I'm going to do for emails. I got emails going back to when I first started using the internet. Heck, I may have the first email I ever sent. o_O Whatever I use, I hope I can import or just copy them over. Otherwise, I'm going to be unhappy. Makes me think back to the hal days. O_O Dale :-) :-)
