This is pretty common statement from users of >80 dpi screens, not just
from farsighted persons. I have a Mirage I screen and I find the 72 dpi
very pleasing, along with the paper-white phospher. I looked at a
SuperMac screen and a Sigma and both were very hard to read. I have only
seen a Radius 90dpi screen once, and that was enough. It was almost
impossible to use MacWrite without squinting.
