At age 73 this doesn't work any longer!
A large magnifying glass might work.

I am within a few years of your age and I now have clearer vision than
I had when I was a teenager. That's because I now have plastic lens
implants that replaced my cataract impaired biological lenses. Your
being age 73 is not a legitimate reason for having poor vision.
Affliction with an untreatable eye disease might be such a reason, but
of course that can occur at any age...

Last eye test I had was the my vision was 20 20 corrected by glasses.
A seven inches is too small for me, especially for all older folks my
age I know. If you think that screen size is great thats your opinion.

So your age complaint for not being able to see a 7" screen was invalid.

>seven inches is too small for me,

Personal preferance *is* a valid reason for disliking a 7" screen.

> If you think that screen size is great thats your opinion.

Actually I think the netbook size is great. The screen just came with it.
