    Wow - I can barely read it. In my opinion, if it is too small to read, then I would vote against it.

    But it is up to Shawn to decide.

    Firefox. I tried with IE and it still looked small to me but again it is just my opinion. Also tried a lower resolution and it still look small.

    They look terrible on IE6, 1O24 by 728, small fonts. Makes site look unprofessional in my book.

    Ick... you're right. Looks crappy on Windows. It's small, but is certainly readable on a Mac though (see attachment).

    Off topic, but why can't Windows render text as nicely as a Mac?? :)

    Hey on that off topic issue. Amazing that it does look better on a Mac. I need get over Windows to buy myself a Mac this year.

    I always forget how much better (even "normal" sized) text looks on a Mac until I get on Windows for something. Windows text rendering in general (and therefore all web pages) sucks compares to Macs.

    I'm looking at it on 1600X1200 on a 20". To me it looks pretty bad. I can't read any of that part of the page at all. I think it's as much a font choice/color scheme problem as size. But that could just be me.

    Out of topic:
    You should change the background color of your first site. Try something more relaxing.
