Computer trick, for those of us with failing eyesite

In IE8 (no flames, I like it, although I have my complaints but I have tried many others and they all have their +s and -s).

Hold the Ctrl key and use the mouse scroll wheel.

Changes the font !!!

You can accomplish the same with the keyboard.

While holding the Ctrl key down, press the "+" or "=/+" key to increase ("-" or "-/_" key to reduce) the size.

It works with Firefox, too.
