I use MC on a big TV via s-video @ 800x600.  For those like us, scrollbars are always appreciated.

Bet you can read that baby from across the room!

Actually, the larger the resolution, the smaller the print. ;)  So don't be jealous.  ;D

Of course, one can change this by manually increasing the dpi Windows uses for fonts, but doing that sort of defeats the purpose of using higher screen resolution in the first place.  :P

I've adjusted every font in the Advanced Appearance setting screen.  This is the only way I can ever get ALL my fonts to the exact size that I want (I'm real picky about how my screen looks)   8) ::) :P
