Although I'm sure someone will try to top me.

Anyway, I have a question. And it's very exciting.

*ahem*

What resolution are you running Windows (or whatever your GUI) in?

If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to know what web-browser you are using, but if that's too much hard work, don't worry about it.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

At home I have Win98, IE 5, 1025 by 768. At work, Win2000, IE 5.5 SP1, 1024 by 768.

Here's a question for you all: suddenly certain webpages (Flare, the IMDB, our Intranet) are all showing text in a much larger font than normal - I'd say at least 12 or 14 instead of the usual 10-point. Can't figure it out, but it seems familiar, sure I've come across this problem before. . .

Do you have a scroll mouse? This happened to me before. Try going to View -> Text Size and select medium. That might do the trick.

Anyhoo, I'm running Windows 2000 at 1280*1024. And I'm using whichever version of IE that comes with it. 5.0 or 5.5 or something.

I've logged on my campus computers before running Windows NT 4.0 and the text changes from 10pt. to 15 pt. when I click around...

I'm running the second release of Windows '98 and at a screen resolution of 800 by 600. I'm using Internet Explorer 5.whatever for my web browser.

I had the font size screwed up in IE after I reformatted my hard drive and installed the IE upgrade. I think I was using the "larger" size setting, but it reverted to "medium." I never could get the browser to stay set to "larger," so I just got used to "medium."

If we're going to post amusing answers, could we also answer the question? Not that I'm naming any names, Veers and Michael T.

Damn you Seiggy. You've ruined everything. I was hoping that no-one used 800 x 600 anymore.

You have 4 monitors Charles? Isn't that a bit greedy? There are kids growing up in some third world countries with no monitors at all. And if they have one, they're only old 14in VGA monitors. Can you imagine the horror?

What's a virtual machine?

supposeing I could go to 1280 x 1024 on my comp, I have an Asus 7100 video card with a GeForce 2 MX GPU, but I never figured out how.

When I do crank the resolution up to 1280 x 1024 on some of the games, like Alice, it totally screwed up my comp and I have to reboot...
