If you download Netscape and use it for your browser you can magnify all text on the web.

(You can also increase the size of some text in Internet Explorer, but not DU's. It depends on how the page is coded)

In Netscape select "view" from the menu and then "zoom text". Again, works on all web pages.

This feature allows you to increase the size of text as much as you want.

You can get it here

1. if you download mozilla, you can enlarge the text on a page with ctrl+

that is, control-plus. type it in more than once to enlarge text by more than one step. you can reduce the text with ctrl-minus.

2. You can zoom text with IE, too.

Hold ctrl, scrolll mouse wheel down to zoom in, up to zoom out.

4. You guys might already know...

but if you go to Profile>Preferences, the last question is something like "Are you using Internet Explorer and would like to use increased font sizes?"
