Re: iPad and font sizes?

Rob,

I agree with what your saying and it's what I plan on implementing.
However, to my surprise, what you're describing is exactly the
opposite configuration people using the iPhone version would want.
There, because of the small screen, often it's a (relatively) normally
sized terminal with the ability to simply increase the size of the
font. I wasn't sure which one it was going to be so I decided to let
everyone else chime in. :-) I'll be addressing these concerns this
week and have a build out soon.
