Did you know that on most website you can change the size of the text!!!

Just hold down the CTRL key and move the wheel on the mouse and the text will get bigger or smaller depending on which way you move the wheel.

Hi Zeb,

Been there done that, tried all the tricks!  Having eye probs you see!  Nothing to be done except get a bigger screen and a new machine later on!  This one is getting old like me now! ;D

The last time I changed my PC screen, I bought a 22" widescreen one.  Widescreen monitors are extremely useful in genealogy research, because you can have two windows side by side on the screen at once, which makes it very handy when comparing one document or web page with another, or transcribing from one screen to another.  Just the ticket !  :)
