No, in netscape 7 they come through as yellow round smiley faces. They 
are supposed to on Macs, anyhoo.

No, I said EVEN at that resolution, I couldn't see the canon type, so it 
was in fact much bigger  than
my normal resolution, which is 1024 x 768. What I'm trying to say, and 
you aren't getting it, is
NORMALLY I Can see 5 point type on my 1024x 768 monitor. But even when I 
took it down to 600x800,
the canon webpage was STILL way too small to read.


I thought I explained all that. I have excellent eyesight WHEN my 
glasses are focused on what I want to see.
Obviously the webpage was coming through much DIFFERENTLY on my monitor 
than on your monitor.  I CAN
see small type, down to 5 points.
