    After spending way more time than I'd care to admit on exactly this topic for myself, the answer for you will most likely come down the answers to a few questions that you may not know until after you start. Budget, willingness to change out lenses, total size and weight you're willing to carry around, low light vs well lit venues. I've been reasonably happy with my 28, 50, & 70-300 f4-5.6 but if I had the money it would have been f2.8. This was on a Canon but should translate in general.

    This fixed it for me too. I don't use zoom in Chrome, rather I have it set via android Settings-> Display->Font Size . I looked as to why it worked by default in Firefox and under Accessibility it has "Automatic font size, font size will match your Android settings."

    Within Chrome, Accessibility, Text Scaling is set to 100%.
    This is definitely not in my wheelhouse. Just providing information in case it's helpful to others.
    For now, I'll just browse it in Firefox when on mobile.

    Oddly enough, only when I'm logged in, when I'm not, it appears normal. (Or the way that I'm used to seeing it anyway)

    From my limited testing, on Firefox it appears as normal both logged in and logged out.

    I will watch Hoosiers every single time I catch it on. I hesitate mentioning it because for me it's a guilty pleasure 10.

    I appreciate the thoughtful detailed response. Your first paragraph could have described me as well. I will check it out.

    I will be needing to do something similar in the next year and I'm curious, if you wouldn't mind sharing, why Rust? I have no judgement of it, actually no knowledge of it, hence my question.

    It holds our data access components. Basic Create, Read, Update, Delete operations as well as a few other functions. API endpoints in IIS is an interesting thought although I have no idea yet how it would compare in speed.

    We are small company and have utilized COM+ on the server for the last 20 years. Strictly Windows and all LAN based communication. We are rewriting in c#. What are some alternatives that I can look in to that may be better in terms of speed or management for COM+?
