EYESIGHT

Damn, does this getting-old business ever suck!  Insofar as I do anything  useful these days, I do it on my computer.  Despite the best efforts of Fairhaven Vision, it has become next to impossible for me to read text off my ASUS desktop; only by sitting, Bob Cratchet-style*, on a high stool, near the screen – and using the close-up part of my bifocals, can I make out any part of the printed word.  I have had “computer glasses” made numerous times, but they never quite do the trick.  Now I am increasingly resorting to the Microsoft Word gambit – highlight and save that part of the text that you think might be interesting, transfer it to a Word document, enlarge the hell out of it, and print.  Many trees are dying needlessly in the process.  Pity.

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW I CAN PERSUADE MY COMPUTER TO USE BIGGER CHARACTERS?
