Really?  To me, it already looks too small on my 1024x768 laptop screen.
 I imagine it'll be mostly unreadable on my 1600x1200 screen at home.
If only font sizes were done the right way and weren't
resolution-dependent...

Though I suppose things are a bit better when people use the proper CSS
font-size relative sizes, like 'medium', 'x-large', etc. rather than
pixel/point sizes.  My philosophy is that the web designer shouldn't
mess with font sizes directly at all.  The 'default' size for the page
(that is, the size that most text is) should be left at 'font-size:
medium', and you can use 'larger' and 'smaller' as needed, or the
"absolute" 'large', 'x-large', 'small', 'x-small' sizes.  Any site that
sets absolute pixel or point values is IMHO broken, except for a few
very specialised cases.
