Resize text buttons

Hi all,

I'm just wondering, as I occasionally get fed designs that have "text resize" buttons on the page. (EG - small, medium, large). I'm wondering, do people ever use these? I would have thought anyone who needs to resize text would be aware of how to do it. Also, the latest versions of the popular browsers, (namely Internet Explorer and Firefox), use the Zoom tool these days, which enlarges images as well as text.

Would like to hear anyone's thoughts on this.
Cheers
