Very Cool Text Trick!

OK, so your all gonna say to me "ahhh, that's old, we know all about that" but I only just found out and there may be 1 or 2 of you that don't know about it.

Hold down the 'control' button on your keyboard and use the scroll wheel on the mouse at the same time whilst holding 'control' down.

COOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!

The Text changes size!!!! BIGGER and smaller depending on which way you turn the mouse wheel.

Now I will be able to read all the fine print

Now I gotta work out how to stop myself from playing with it

I just discovered another trick by accident!!!!!!

Hold down the 'Shift' key and scroll your mouse wheel!!!!!!

COOOL!

It goes back and forward pages. Neat trick.
