If you are like me and your eyes aren't quite what they used to be, just press Ctrl and + a time or two on your keyboard to make things larger. Ctrl and - will make things smaller. This works in most (or maybe all browsers) including Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Google.

Makes me feel young again.

Saves putting on the coke bottle glasses!

Heard, are you going to join us on the trip up to Dawsonville for the White Knuckle Tour and the Moonshine Festival in your '36...???

Heard · 09-02-2014, 07:35 PM

Hi Vic,
Not in the coupe. I'm in the process of what I hope will be a cooling upgrade and I'm sure I won't have it done in time. Every time I think I'm ready for this thing to be on the road, I manage to open up another can of worms. This time it is cooling.

For Mac users, it's Command +.

Used to have 20/15 in both eyes. Could watch the vapor trail of an M-16 round going down range. Used to tease my dad about him wearing reading glasses. He promised me it would happen to me too when I reached 45.

AND IT DID!!!!!!!

I use the Magnafier and the text to speech program. Works great.

Good tip! Thanks!

A similar alternative for PC; if your mouse has a wheel, hold down the Ctrl key, and roll the wheel, forward larger, back smaller.

Thanks Uncle Bob! I learn something everyday....Can't wait until tomorrow!

Thanks Heard. I did not know that.

Also, Control + 0 should reset everything to the standard font size if you want it that way.

Sal · 09-03-2014, 10:49 AM

Thanks a million, now I can see better even with my glasses on.

If you have a wheel on your mouse you can hold the ctrl down and move the wheel away from you to make the page larger and to you to make it smaller.
