[Athen] Free screen magnification?

[Heidi Scher]

Thanks, Robert and Karen!  Right now the computers on which the students
would like to have the screen magnification are running XP.  I'm just trying
to help find a variety of inexpensive options to suggest.  I will definitely
keep the information you've suggested for working with students who have
already upgraded their computers.

THANKS again!

Heidi
