WOW!!!! Zoom Feature?

If you use the Opera web browser you can use the + or - buttons to zoom in or out.

Knew about it already Richard. It's an age thing with the eyes! Those of us over 40 (bifocal age) seek out that kind of stuff. I don't remember how I found out but I think I did a search to find out how to enlarge print. It was quite a while ago so I don't really remember (another age thing. )

Forget it...


There I was, feeling smart and all that, then you gang up on me and make me feel like a Luddite, all over again!

Nah, Richard, you are not a bit Luddite! After all, your compooter wouldn't even work if you threw a wrench at the screen!

It's fun to share little discoveries, even if they ain't "new" to anyone else - you never know who, lurking, learned something they didn't know!

AWWW Richard. Now we feel like the meanies. You posted a helpful hint and none of us thought to do the same. Forgive us.

And there is kind of a zoom feature with attachments. Open the attachment, then left click on it and it will enlarge. Click again and it should become original size. I find that handy, too.

I have to laugh because when I got my new comp I could not figure out the whole 'burning DVD/CD' system. WHY?, I accidentally put the icon for the media player into the waste basket.

It took me two days to figure that out and only because I did a reset of the whole computer, did I notice what I had done!



I also had a little bit of chest thumping going when I got a wireless router hooked up. I wanted an "N" system, just in case I got brave and went HUGE in the future.


A family friend that does home wiring gave us the USB adapters for a Netgear system- I found a router on sale and when I got it home I was able to muddle my way thru the installation!

XP is a great system -it's really good for boneheads like me!

I am just like a little kid when it comes to learning new things anyway!


Thanks for the other tips too!

You are all forgiven!

If you have a scroll button on your mouse, you can hold down the cntl key and scroll size up and down. It is a smooth size change on my XP system and a little delayed on my eeePC and not smooth.
