Killed the 17" MBP? Where did you hear that?

I know they're pushing the 15" retina display MBP, but no matter how high the resolution, folks like me with poor or degrading vision need the real estate of a larger display so we can blow up (multiple) pages for readability. (I run FR with a forum page on the left and the individual thread in a window on the right...)

In fact, higher resolution can be a negative: smaller type just gets smaller. Things like the bookmarks bar in Safari and iCal events are already at the lower limit of readability at the 1920 X 1200 resolution of this 17" display.

I think the kids at Apple will have to rethink any notion of replacing 17" with 15" -- no matter how high the resolution...
