I don't know why Jay had trouble with newspaper size. When I opened the
Bellaire review inside the Firefox browser it was full screen. As for
the Bellaire Review not having enough dpi's I suspect it is your
computers video card, not the website. On my computer the print was as
clear as it is in email. My video card is a 128MB card; my first
computer had an 8 MB card which I later upgraded to 32MB. With each
increase in video card power the resulting picture was markedly
improved. I suspect that a 256MB video card would still offer
improvement over my 128 MB.
