The text is way too small on a Mac - remember Mac browsers usually
work at 72dpi as against 96dpi for Windows browsers. What is small
but readable on a Windows box can be unintelligible on a Mac. I
couldn't read some of the menu options at all without looking at the
source code. This is what happens when you set the size of text in
points - OK on a PC, tiny on a Mac. Even on a Windows machine,
though, 7pt (which is what the menu is supposed to be, as far as I
can see from a quick look at the source) is too small (and 10pt is a
bit small for main body text, IMHO).
I have no gripes with the rest of the design, but if I came here with
a Mac I'd leave quickly - I'd rather not get splitting headaches from
peering at tiny text.
