Okay-Im computer illerate,and will be the first to admit it.Just got an email from a friend telling me that if you hold the "control key" down and rotate the "pinwheel" on your mouse you can make the the letters of what you are reading either smaller or larger.If your rotate the pinwheel forward the letter get smaller-if you rotate it backwards the letters will not only get bigger,but also darker which makes it a lot easier to read. So next time you look an auction and some slimball seller typed something so small he really doesnt want you to read,but claims "it was in the auction" i.e.-those xboxs last December,you can now enlarge it to any size you want.I suppose all you computer guru's knew about this,but I never read manuals-they're to cumbersome and confusing-Im one of those "if all else fails,read the directions"

Also in Firefox you can press down the "ctrl" key and hit the "+" keyy for bigger or the "-" key for smaller

I have a Logitech wireless mouse. All I have to do to change the view size with it is click the wheel and then spin it. It has that feature added in.
They say your memory's the second thing to go, I just can't remember what the first thing is.

On a Mac running OS X, it's cmd + or cmd -, in any browser, even Exploder.

Thanks, Mike. I've never used the "F" keys myself, but my husband always does. That's quite a list; I think now I understand how grocery clerks have memorized all those product numbers. . . .
