Three quick thoughts:
1. For those with vision problems, and for ease of use in demos to small 
groups of users, 17 inch monitors are now standard on new systems, and can 
be purchased for $195 brand new.
2. Remember that the font size used by anyone can be easily changed in 
either NS or IE, so that those who need larger fonts can easily have them.
3. We've purchased several 19 inch monitors for public areas for same 
reasons as the 17s, and find them well worth the money for selected situations.
