Is your computer monitor big enough to read the webpage or websites you are on?

I am using firefox currently right as my browser. it has all the buttons and tabs on the top of the page. it has about 7 lines of display. from Mozilla firefox header, then the second line hate the browser box, then the third line occupies the Getting Started , Latest Deadlines buttons and etc. and below are other buttons . so those alone occupies 7 line of web page. they occupy a little more than one third of the monitor screen. and so i have to keep scrolling the webpage down to read what is on the middle and bottom of the webpage i am reading. it is quite annoying i think to have a not so big screen. i am using a crt monitor. the old big, bulky monitor. wish that i can buy a flat screen monitor which is much bigger than the one i am using in terms of monitor screen size. so that i can view almost of the webpage i am in.
so do you have small screen monitor right now. don't you find it annoying to use. it seems like a jurassic century to be in the small screen.

It's for that very reason that I don't like to use my cell phone to read emails, look things up or just find maps. I can't stand having to scroll back and forth, up and down all the time!
I guess I'm fortunate enough to have a rather large flat-screen monitor, but I've had one like yours. I had it long after the flat-screen monitors came out because I couldn't afford one. Luckily, they've come way down in price. If they hadn't, I'd probably still be using one like you're using.
Make a "monitor fund" jar! That's how I bought a new computer. I put a jar next to the computer with a slit cut in the lid. Every time one of my kids used the computer, or when I did, we'd have to put 25 cents into the jar. It didn't exactly pay for a whole new computer, but it sure helped!
After that, I used the jar for the same reason, except it was to buy printer ink because my boys were always printing out things, and it seemed like I was buying printer ink every couple of weeks. They had to deposit 10 cents every time they printed out a page. I'd then take that money and buy new printer cartridges.
