Was visiting a friend some time back. He was looking at some of my "stuff" on his laptop. I noticed a brittle edge appearance that I hadn't seen before. At least I didn't think so. Checked at home on my "fat" screen monitor and the crumbling edges were gone. I do notice many posted to this list that appear softer than I would like, but haven't commented due to its casual air. As mentioned earlier, enlarging often eliminated the false appearance of pixelation. The point is certainly noted. Thanks.
