I do not think a well formed 8 point font is easily readable by anyone.
I do think that it is readable, but would irritate or give headache to a
number of people. I think a 10 point font is easily readable though.
(yes, it's quibbling, but I don't wanna see a going overboard)
Btw, I'm legally able to drive without my glasses, but I can't read any
8 point font without my glasses on most days. 10 point fonts are blury
but readable.

Now I need to wonder if it would actually save you and me money. Not to
speak bad of SCA, Inc, but when most organizations make a change to save
money, they tend to *not* pass it on to the person paying for it. The
money ends up going towards other things that the organization thinks is
important, but the paying person may not.
Btw, when I read "turn your PC sideways to read it", I was trying to
figure out how you kept doing that, and why you didn't buy software that
did that for you. *smile*
Ciao,
