Tediously slow on the focus and the final rendition was poor unless you magnified to 200%. It would have been nice if the viewer provided a mag level or two in between 100% & 200%.

Totally agree, and it really drove home how many ADS are in the thing. It's nice that they plan on selling the digital version for less, but they need to drop the adverts from it completely, since there is no publishing overruns to deal with (printing 15,000 just to sell 3,000).

For magnification in between 100 & 200% you can update to internet explorer version 7.0.6 or higher and you will see on the bottom right hand corner a magnifying glass that if you click on, will change from 100 to 125 to 150% and then back down to 100, and it also gives you custom options in the drop down menu (you access this by clicking the down arrow)

If you don't use internet explorer and/or just don't feel like downloading anything and you are using windows, you can:

click the start button
click on control panel
double click display
at the top right click on settings
change your screen resolution and click on apply at the bottom right hand corner (don't worry, it always gives you a choice to change it back if you change it to something that you don't like)

And if you suffer from a terrible short term memory like myself, you may want to write down what your original setting was in case you want to go back to it later.

Oh yeah, I guess this is kind of important too, if you suffer from a terrible short term memory like myself, you may want to write down what your original setting was in case you want to go back to it later.

Also, there are some free magnifier programs out there too, but most of the ones I've tried just magnify a line or two. Others may know more about this.

Try changing your display settings and you just might find that you like a setting other than your default better.

I'm no display expert so YMMV (Your MAGNIFICATION May Vary)
