+The more you pay the smaller the pixels you get.  It doesn't seem 
+right does it?  Anyway you get lots more of them.  :-)

+Yes, several.

+You can tell the computer that the monitor has a different number 
+of pixels to what it really has, with VGA=<number> in grub or 
+lilo config files, and other techniques.  
+
+Best solution is to tell the computer to use a differnt font.  
+Google for "text only mode font size".
