Here's something that most people haven't realized after over
15 years of reading things on the internet. First and foremost is readability
rules. Some websites go out of their way to dish up some new trendy
font stylings [like this one: Georgia], ignoring the common fact that
the user controls which fonts are used, not the web designer. Therefore,
over the years, and because of the extremely low resolution found on
websites [about a sixth of what is found in an average daily printed
newspaper], most websites use sans serif fonts from a very limited group
or set. And this group is not used because it is the most common group,
but it's used because it renders well in all sizings and stylings.

^ 23" display in 16:9

Today, I went out and bought a new monitor, my first
in over five years. Wow, what a difference. And I paid less for the new,
much bigger one [the previous, a Dell 17" LCD] than the old one.
This new HP 23" behemoth only cost $235, tax included. And, with
all the computer desktop monitors these days, you can view high definition
movies with it as well. Features aside, this larger sizing will have the
biggest impact on how we look at websites since colored backgrounds.
