    Helpfull Compter Tool - Mouse With a "Zoom" Feature

    I just picked up the Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000  

    It has a cool magnifier feature that lets you zoom in to what ever is on the screen. You can use the standard button on the left or go through the settings and make it so you just push the scroll wheel...its a very helpful tool...I use it like 80 times a day...lol...and best of all it's pretty cheap..

    go to the following link for more info and list of retailers etc...

    Wow! Thanks for the tip. I might look into it. Now all it needs is a wireless version.
    Cool, Confident... Devin

    Just a little tip for Mac users out there.

    If you are running OSX 10.4.8, there is a built in zoom feature enabled by default.

    You can hold down the control button and scroll with your scroll wheel. If you have a Macbook or Macbook Pro, then you can hold control and scroll by putting 2 fingers on your trackpad and slide up to zoom in, and slide down to zoom out.

    You can also invert the colors your screen by holding down Control-Option-Command and press 8.

    Both of these features increased my productivity alot, mainly because of how it is seemlessly intergrated with the operating system. No extra software to install!
