Not to be a complainy-pants but why haven't people yet realized that it's the 21st century and that YES, we can scan things at higher than 72 DPI?

I think I went blind trying to read that ad copy.

Higher DPI! Please! There's no excuse for less than 300 these days.

control(+)the plus sign will enlarge your page view. (if you have the separate numbers keypad anyway).

i DID get the page large enough to see the words. they were still ant-print tiny at 16 enlargements. the original copy of the ad must have been hell to read!

edit to give the correct keyboard command...because i are the goofbrain today.

you're welcome! it really helps me be able to read most webpages... dibetes that went untreated for at least a decade has lead to some really ugly eye problems, plus a weirdness on the left eye, and my vision is going.

i have glasses for distance vision, ones for computer-distance use, and for things closer than *that*, i take my glasses off entirely. and sometimes? i just take the glasses off and experience life as a blur. and it doesn't bother me to do that, LOL!!

I love this ad.

What, you don't have a machine gun turret in your kitchen?

*click-click* "I hope you prewashed this time!"

We had a Norge refrigerator for a while when I was a kid. That machine gun turret couldn't have been much noisier.

If it will keep people out of my kitchen, I would welcome it!
