XP CDKEY too small to read for vision impaired people!

[Joe]

Okay, I really need to rant on Microsoft for this one. I'm an oem
resseller of Microsoft products and computer retailer who suffers from
vision impairment.

The CD Keys that were on Windows95/98 and 2000 were printed in a large
enough font for me to read. However the XP CD keys are far too small
to read unless I hold it under my bench magnifier or get my co-worker
to write them down on the build sheet in large bold text. What's worse
is it's difficult to tell the letter B from 8 or G from 6.

Having to do this 20-30 times a day is making me grit my teeth, squint
my eyes and mumble evil things about yoour company.
Why print the label in such a hard to define and small print? Would it
cost any more to make the font type = BOLD SYSTEM 10pt??

It's nice there's a magnififer glass in windows along with a few other
tools for the impaired but what good is it if you can't read the key
to install the product?

Thanks JJ - I did just that - Hopefully they don't turn a "blind eye"
on it.
