I saw that Sinead O'Conner is coming out with a new album on iTunes, which got me to thinking about the last time I saw her in person....

I'm afraid it's too small for me to read - even with maximum zoom.

Me: Dear Ms. O'Conner:

I'm so happy to see you still strong and successful. I was only twenty five when you came to my bar, Fat Tuesdays in Tempe Arizona, in 1985. It was my first night as a doorman and I was told, "Don't let anyone in without I.D. Period.

You and your bodyguards came up and I knew you were someone important. I asked you for I.D. and you looked confused and told me you didn't have one. I felt bad, but I told you that I couldn't let you in. Your bodyguard started to lean on me, but you politely reined him in (much to my relief.) Then you went to a nearby Italian restaurant and had something to eat.

The bartender came over to me, right after you left and told me, "Do you know who you just threw out of our bar? Sinead O'Conner, you dingbat!" I felt terrible!

I remember seeing you sitting there, all by yourself since the restaurant wasn't popular, and you looked so sad. This was around the time of your "Pope" controversy, I think. I had a terrible feeling I had somehow just put the last nail in a coffin.

So imagine how happy I am to see you out with a new album, and a successful parent as well. I went on to be a decorated and revered teacher at an Alternative High School with my own family.

So everything turned out well. Congratulations and I hope you'll forgive me.

Sinead: Sinead O'Connor ¦Consider yourself forgiven Jonathan

And she could put a good word in with the Pope on your behalf too.

Yes - the full size is still too small.

I think the real problem is with Screen Resolution. The higher the resolution, the smaller everything gets. As it is I've had to reduce my res and even that's too small, but even then it has additional problems when you get things like application windows, when the OK / Cancel buttons are totally off the bottom of the screen, but if you adjust the res to such a size where the window becomes visible you can't even make out the bit that says 'OK' inside the button.
