Saved a few bob...
« on: 03 May 2014, 23:40:55 »
Funny isn't it....I build my own computers, and have built a few for family and friends. Not totally up with the software side of things though.
I have two widescreen monitors with a high resolution. Having a real job to read OOF and other web pages. Thinking of getting some new specs.
I can't believe that I have found a stupid and quick solution after all these years. Just open a web page and click Ctrl and + and the text comes up bigger !!!!!!!!!! Why are simple things never well known :(
And I bet there are loads of you in the same boat ;D ;D ;D

I know that, I use it at work often for a system we use and the writing is too small and new specs is not the answer........... :y :y

Yeah, its funny, Mike...I was saying to swmbo this morning, I could not read the print. Told her to book an eye test for me. Then googled to see if there was a fix. Could not believe I have struggled for ages, even making my eyes water with straining.
Brilliant now though :y

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
