MY FRIEND: so like I left my reading glasses in a bar last night, I think. I'm dead in the water today, getting any work done.
ME: You can just make the text ginormous.
MY FRIEND: I have the zoom in Word set to 350%
MY FRIEND: freaking old eyes
ME: The Mac has a very handy full-screen zoom capability.
MY FRIEND: please don't tell me more.
