Well then, my laptop screen (13" TFT) is not setup right.  A 12pt capital 'T' 
on my laptop screen is actually just over 3/32" tall.  Hence, my fonts appear 
bigger than their pointsize would otherwise indicate, thus I want my 
virtually all my fonts to be AA.  I don't use anything less than 11pt, 
actually.  And AA on 11 looks great whereas the aliased fonts are just 
blocky-butt-ugly.  Crude looking, even.
