BIT OF A WAKE UP CALL FOR ALL OF US IN A WAY, PIPS, WE ALWAYS ASSUME EVERYONE IS ABLE TO READ WHAT WE PUT ON HERE WITHOUT PROBLEMS, NOW WE CAN BE A BIT MORE THOUGHTFUL IF ANYONE TELLS US OF THEIR DIFFICULTIES. YOU ARE ONE DETERMINED MEMBER. LIZ

CAPITALS DON'T BOTHER ME. PHILLUPA. YOU JUST DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO. IF YOU DON'T FIND WHAT YOU NEED IN TERMS OF MAGNIFICATION FROM THE RNIB OR COMPUTER SOFTWARE, HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF SEEING WHAT A SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENT SUPPLIER CAN DO FOR YOU? I'M SURE THERE ARE ALL SORTS OF GIZMOS AVAILABLE IF WE JUST KNOW WHERE TO LOOK. ANYWAY, I'LL BE PLEASED TO SEE YOU ON THE BOARD, CAPITALS AND ALL. IT MUST BE VERY HARD WORK FOR YOU TO DO SO AND I THINK IT'S FANTASTIC THAT YOU PUT IN THE TIME AND EFFORT WHEN FACED WITH SO MUCH DIFFICULTY. X

HI PIP, THERE ARE SOME ONLINE MAGNIFIERS THAT YOU CAN USE, WILL HAVE A LOOK TOMORROW TO SEE IF I CAN FIND THE ONE THAT WE PUT ON THE LAPTOP. I HAD BILATERAL CATARACT OPERATION EARLIER THIS YEAR AND HAD PROBLEMS READING THE SCREEN UNTIL I HAD NEW READING GLASSES. I HAVE ALSO PUT IE7 ON THIS COMPUTER, BUT IT HAS BEEN REFORMATTED AND THERE ARE NO PROGRAMS OTHER THAN ANTIVIRUS, ANTISPYWARE, ANTISPAM AND FIREWALL, SO IF ANYTHING WAS TO GO WRONG, EASY ENOUGH TO GET GOING AGAIN. GOOD LUCK ROSALIND

HELLO PIP I HAVE JUST LOOKED ON THE RNIB SITE - THEIR ONLINE SHOP AND THEY HAVE QUITE A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT YOU MIGHT FIND HELPFUL INCLUDING A MAGNIFYING COMPUTER SCREEN FILTER EITHER 15'OR 17' IT ISN'T CHEAP £82.25 FOR THE SMALL ONE AND £94 FOR THE LARGER ONE. IT SAYS IT CAN INCREASE CHARACTER SIZE TO MORE THAN DOUBLE WOULD THAT BE ENOUGH FOR YOU? MAGS XX

Steve DONT MENTION INTERNET EXPLORER 7 (I was shouting that time lol ) Elaine x

I JUST HAD A LOOK AT THE RNIB ONLINE SHOP - THEY DO A MAGNIFYING FILTER SCREEN FOR COMPUTER MONITORS (15 OR 17 INCH) THAT CAN DOUBLE THE SIZE OF FONTS WITHOUT SOFTWARE. ITS QUITE EXPENSIVE BUT MIGHT BE WORTH A LOOK AND THEY MIGHT HAVE OTHER PRODUCTS THAT COULD HELP. THEY HAVE A NUMBER YOU CAN RING FOR ASSISTANCE - 0845 702 3153. Angela
