Not sure if it was GC or Firefox but the ability to zoom in on the pages is very much appreciated. (ODIN???)

Default Firefox zooming

Hold down "Ctrl" key and scroll the mouse wheel up and down. This will change the size of the text; do this until the text is the proper size.


Hold "Ctrl" and press "+" or "-," if your mouse doesn't have a scroll wheel.


Select "View," "Zoom" and "Zoom In" on the top of your browser.

***
Using the "Ctrl" kay and scrolling with the mouse wheel works in Chrome too.

Thank you Wallace, you are always helpful. For all of these years, I never knew that you could zoom in :roll:

Maybe the new mouse was worth the $$$

Btw, you can zoom in/out the same way in Gimp (and in plenty of other apps, this is very standard behavior).

Thanks ofnuts, always useful to know and you can never have too much knowledge.

Some flash cards would be cool.
