In XP you could change the DPI setting of the screen in advanced settings. If I remember correctly, switch from 96DPI to 120 DPI was good enough. I did it many times for elderly friends and everything worked and looked nice (contrary to changing font and icon size preferences, and of course, setting screen resolution to anything but native).

> Anyone who believes education is not mostly about social status is not very bright. Among several Ph.D. computer science students I know, nobody does it for social status. I don't know where are you from, but in North America big money give you higher social status than Ph.D. and 5+ years spent on Ph.D. in comp. sc. are not the best way to become rich. It takes a lot of persistence, and hopefully passion, to get this degree. If somebody is doing it just for social status, they are likely to end up in mental institution. What is the matter with cheating? How would one exactly do it to get M.SC or Ph.D? It is not about homeworks and tests.

A very nice post. Actually, anyone who tells you that some nation is all good or all bad, is lying :-) Also a lot of people who are happy to attack Polish people for their attitude towards Jews, should look at their own country first and see what happened there during WW2. Jews didn't just hop into trains to extermination camps located in Poland.
