I used to be into tiny gadgets. But the eyes get old, the fingers get stubby, fine motor control goes south. More power to the people who like the small stuff, I was just pointing out to the original poster there are legitimate complaints with these little things. I read “10 inch screen” and my eyes say “don’t even think about it”, in order to get enough data on that screen to be useful the fonts would be so small I couldn’t see them. Of course one of the other changes as I get older is more interest in things without silicon and desire to be unplugged from the world, portable computing sounds more and more to me like a trap than a feature.

Like I said in my comment to you, and I wasn't criticizing you, I am with you, I use as big a screen as I can get. I need my glasses changed again also! How much did that 26 inch cost you? I would love to have one that big! A regular lap top, with 15 inch screens don't do that much for me and 10 inch screens, actually 9 inch in some cases, just don't cut if for me!

It reminds me of the TVs they had when I was young, 5 inch screens and people had to buy magnifiers to put over the screen!

Most of them were bigger but I had an Uncle who was really tight and he had a 5 inch. That was just painful to watch even with my young(at the time)eyes!
