V-View software

[Stefan A. Smith]

Sue,

If you are only interested in magnifying the screen, and your only use of
the computer is Web browsing, you might want to consider using Opera as
your browser instead of Netscape.  You can (very easily and conveniently)
zoom in (or out) between 20% to 1000% of screen size. 

Also, Opera will take up fewer of the not unlimited resources of your 486 
with 8 MB RAM.
