Real Screen Magnifier!
« on: May 15, 2004, 09:27:26 pm »
One app that I would dearly love for my C860 would be a magnificaiton loop.

1) pop up from applet bar
2) adjust size & possibly shape of magnification \"bubble\"
3) adjust magnification level
4) \"hook point\" for stylus to move the focus about the screen
5) independent of what ever app is running at the time in terms of screen usage

Man! This would keep me from having to hunt up one of my 10X optical loops every time squinting fails to be enough to read the \"fine print\".

I bet that every crusty, rusty, trusty old fart out here, like me, would bless the name of the programmer who wrote THIS one!!
