Font sizing
While doing some errands I stopped by the new Apple store in Atlanta and drooled over the various g4s, powerbooks, ibooks, imacs and cinema displays. A corny buy powerful inertia forced me to try viewing this site via osx ie5.1, and I discovered that the current 80% font sizing seems to require a magnifying lens. Perhaps using percentage font sizing is plauged with some of the problems that using ems encounters. Jeffrey Zeldman has put his elegant writing style to work on the problems with using ems for font size reducing, a very worthwhile read. The need to rework this site's design and markup continues to be hindered only by sweeping allergy attacks, perhaps some coffee will help.

As usual, looks great in Mozilla, cross platform. You’ve done good work, Nate.
