Thanks for listening to our feedback, and for your work on the new
tracker.  I'll start using it now :-).


Not really important now, but:

I did just want to point out that this is not really relevant.  The
relevant question is "how much information can be presented readably
on a particular size and quality of screen".

Obviously the user can (and will) increase or decrease the font size
to try to maximise this measure.  But a less-readable font or layout
means that the font has to be made larger, worsening the
information/legibility tradeoff.


Thanks,
Ian.
