The full paragraph was Now, if youth are able to use a 3.5" correct and without problem while elder are not we might have a special market for those elder. The Nokia N900 O-Series (for Old people). I doubt it will see the light though. So perhaps you need a different manufacturer. Or like everyone else you need to see an ophthalmologist and get yourself a pair of glasses for reading texts. Or you continue to whine about your disability without solving the root of the problem, making your problem someone else their problem as well.

In this lemma all I'm doing is providing alternatives to your Holy Path of 4" 800x480 Nokia Internet Tablet, which you fear will not be released. All the alternatives I find relevant, and the one you quote you define as offense I find realistic and helpful. Do you think suddenly newspapers are marketing newspapers for the elder with bigger letters or do you think you need to 'fix your eyes'? Do you think by default a desktop needs all kind of disability related daemons and options enabled? Ofcourse not. You are an exception to the rule. Even if you find it offensive it is part of solutions to the problem including a mentioned O-Series for the elder. That could very well be a 4" tablet like you desire; I do not know. What I mean with that, is that a specific hardware product in past, present, or future other than Nokia 770/NokiaN8x0 is able to serve you.

If you need to take your glasses for myopia off to read a text and this bothers you, you should consider to get multi focal glasses instead. It might be possible you suffer from untreated presbyopia. If you haven't had your eyes checked in a long while I highly recommend you to do so!
(a) I have had my eyes checked many, many times, including within the last few months. In fact, I had them checked recently by an opthamologist and an optometrist.

(b) I don't need your suggestions about what kind of glasses to wear, thank you very much. I have worn contacts, bifocals, multifocals and single focals, each kind for years.

(c) I only quoted the part about whining because that was the offensive part. When you "put it in context" you didn't remove the offensive part one iota, you just diluted it.

To avoid charges of selective quoting, I left your message above intact. This hurts other readers because it repeats excessive verbiage that doesn't have anything to do with what I am saying. But at least it makes you happy.

To repeat one thing: your language was offensive. If I had included every statement you ever made in your life, it would not have removed the fact that your statement was offensive.
