Well, they're really the same (in terms of the effect). The Ti does have 
a larger screen, but also a higher resolution (pixels per inch), so more 
shows on the screen. The iBook is limited to the 800 x 600 resolution, 
which makes things bigger (good for these old eyes, but limits how much 
fits on the screen).

I've tried the higher resolution on my old iMac (15" screen) but things 
are too small for me to read easily.

Thanks for the report/feedback, Paula.
