At an eye appointment this afternoon, my eyes were dilated. I dislike this step, even though it’s normal, as it leaves me unable to read for a few hours thereafter. In my rush to get back online, I took the step of bumping up the font sizes in all my applications (Mail, Safari, NetNewsWire)… and it was good. It’s actually got me thinking that I need to do this even when my eyes are not recovering from dilation. Anything to limit the fatigue of staring at a screen all day can’t be bad. Would be an interesting experiment to see if we set the default font size one larger at work and see if traffic went up just from that step. I think this post is yet another marker of age, and I’m not quite 33. Oh well. My three-year old boy can almost count to 33, and he certainly think that’s a big number.

Will 10.3.3 do the trick?
I’m reading the Apple KnowledgeBase note for the Mac OS X 10.3.3 update. I have not yet installed it, but I am thrilled to read this bullet item.
Addresses an issue in which Mail could unexpectedly quit when marking some types of unsolicited messages (or “spam”) as Junk.
I haven’t been hit by this problem for some time, but sure would be pleased to know it’s gone forever.
