Text size is interesting one. If you're using firefox you can quickly adjust the text size to suit your own particular combination of screen size and eyesight. Press ctrl + + to increase, ctrl + - to decrease or ctrl + 0 to return to the default.

 

This doesn't work in IE6 on this site (I've a vague recollection that it will in IE7). The reason it doesn't work in IE6 is that the size of the text is defined in absolute terms using either pixels or points. Good practice in accessibility says you should define font size in relative terms (using % or em) rather than absolute, so that the user can decide how big they need stuff to be. But this can make it very tricky to get the design to work. The easiest solution is probably if you need bigger type, get a decent browser :)

 

Despite the hiccups it's a nice job though. I've just checked on my Asus eeepc 901 with Firefox and it works fine on that.
