I'm sure many of you techies already know this, but I'm amazed by how easy this is.

Did you know that to increase the font size on any site you're viewing on the Web, all you have to do is push control/shift and the plus sign? To make the font smaller do the same and push the minus sign.

Check it out. It's amazing. These old boomer eyes love it! I no longer have to wear glasses while surfing.

Mama, not sure what you mean, but if you hold CTRL and Shift down with one hand, then tap the plus or mius, the font will change size.

This doesn't work for me either, Mamma...but if I hold down the CNTRL key and slide the "roller" ball on my mouse, it changes the font size.

Ha ha Chatty...love it when you talk that way.

I didn't know this either! I remember JJ telling us you can do the same with the mouse wheel. I've been doing that. But this is even easier.

Compoooooooters can be so much fuuuuuuuun.
